Nagda SFD plant of India's Grasim bags ET Promising Plants 2021

The Economic Times Promising Plants 2021 is an ET Edge initiative put together with The Machinist magazine and the ET Polymers Magazine to recognise, highlight and felicitate plants/factories which have not only scaled excellence but are serving as a source of inspiration to its peers and other industries in the country; and most of all, working towards the vision of ‘Make in India.’

"The editorial team considered the plant’s firm commitment towards environmental and social issues in the community in and around the plant along with excellence in water management, a pledge toward zero-liquid discharge, commitment towards sustainability and towards the socio-economic development of Nagda through the building of hospitals/schools and other developmental infrastructure," the Mumbai-based company said in a press release.

Dedicating the award to all employees and stakeholders of the Nagda SFD plant, Dilip Gaur, managing director, Grasim Industries Ltd, said, “The award is a recognition for our dedication to sustainability, excellence in water management, our pledge to zero-liquid discharge, and, most importantly, our commitment to the socio-economic development of Nagda through improved healthcare, education, and infrastructure development for a better quality of life for all.”

Gaur received the award in a virtual ceremony on July 30, 2021.

Incorporated 10 days after Indian independence, Grasim Industries Ltd has been one of the pioneers of ‘Make in India’ success stories.
