ABB India upgrades its Faridabad plant to enhance sustainability efforts

By Staff Report November 13, 2024 4:22 pm

Faridabad IEC LV motor manufacturing unit will enhance sustainability through facility expansion and the adoption of solar power and renewable electricity.

ABB India’s IEC LV motors business is expanding and transforming the company’s long-established manufacturing facility in the country. Started in 1951, it has expanded into a modern workplace facility with upgraded shop floors. IEC LV motors are known as the workhorses of Indian industries and play a crucial role across sectors. The facility has evolved over the decades into a hub for IE3 and IE4 high-energy efficient motors, as well as specialised motors like flameproof motors, smoke extraction motors, crane duty motors, brake motors, etc.

With a strong commitment to sustainability, the 36,000-square-meter Faridabad facility has taken the lead in promoting practices that align with this vision. It has embraced renewable energy usage and improved energy efficiency across the plant to achieve a low-carbon operation. The realisation of RE100 global commitment to eliminate Scope 2 GHG emissions from its operations was achieved with the utilization of renewable electricity including in-house solar power generation of 180 MWh in 2023. The facility’s dedication to environmentally friendly practices has earned it the ‘Platinum level Green Factory Buildings’ certification from the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). Additionally, the facility has diverted ~99% of its waste away from landfills, aligning with the company’s long-term sustainability targets of zero waste to landfill.
