    In the fiscal year, we have undertaken initiatives to enhance our in-house production capabilities and promote premiumisation for our Fans portfolio. By diligently pursuing capacity debottlenecking initiatives, we have ensured that our manufacturing processes operate at optimal levels, enabling us to meet the growing demand for our premium products. Moreover, our commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices has been unwavering, as we have embraced Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and focused on enhancing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). These strategic steps have not only strengthened our operational efficiency but have also reinforced our dedication to environmental stewardship.

    Bajaj Electricals is known for introducing an extensive array of consumer electrical products, focused on enriching customer convenience. With rapid deployment of advanced technology in our manufacturing facilities, we continue to undertake significant design improvements that help in the production of the finest products and enable us to adhere to rigorous quality parameters.

    Our plants too implement sustainable manufacturing practices that are directed to minimise our impact on the environment. We also continue to undertake efforts to enhance operational efficiency while ensuring optimum resource utilisation. These steps have also helped us to achieve significant cost efficiencies across the manufacturing process.

    Improved operations

    At Bajaj Electricals, we remain committed to ensuring manufacturing excellence through operational efficiency. We have strengthened our operations through Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and effective cost management. We have an effective system of resolving challenges through revised and new business models and restructuring of cross functional activities and improving Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).

    Focus on Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)

    We have incorporated Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) across our operations to inculcate a comprehensive approach to equipment maintenance. It aims to maximise the overall effectiveness and efficiency of manufacturing plants. TPM helps to regulate maintenance activities efficiently, reduces downtime and optimises productivity. It has resulted in considerable cost savings by minimising repair costs, extending the life of equipment and reducing energy consumption.

    Digital adaptation

    The implementation of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and digitisation of the production process has improved efficiency, productivity, and overall performance of our plants. The integration of sophisticated technology and automated systems across our operations is also expected to optimise our production workflow,

    increase real-time monitoring of systems and enable seamless data exchange across the manufacturing ecosystem. With rapid adoption of digital capabilities at our manufacturing plants, we aim to create a connected and intelligent factory environment, capable of quickly adapting to changes in market dynamics, reducing downtime, improving product quality and streamlining operations.

    Embedding sustainability in our operations

    We are making significant strides to reduce environmental impact and enhance efficiency as part of our ongoing efforts to integrate sustainability into our operations. Through responsible resource management, utilisation of renewable energy sources and a sharp focus on employee health and safety, we are setting new industry benchmarks for sustainable practices.

    Initiatives implemented during FY23:

    Built a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) plant to recycle effluent within the manufacturing process. We are also reusing the paint shop wastewater after recycling.

    All our plants comply with the Pollution Control Board’s (PCB) guidelines for e-waste disposal and overall waste management.

    Installed Variable Frequency Drives on two robotic cranes for energy optimisation, currently under monitoring and evaluation.

    Changed water taps in washrooms and reused water for plantations to optimise water usage.

    Installed new solar panels to lower greenhouse gas emissions. At our plants, we also focus on the effective surveillance and upkeep of existing panels.

    Launched awareness campaigns via emails and verbal announcements to encourage our personnel to adopt sustainable practices.

    Way forward

    • In the upcoming year, we plan on scaling up our digitalisation initiatives and the implementation of the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) at the Chakan factory.
    • Through advanced machine learning algorithms and predictive analytics, we aim to improve our capacity utilisation.
    • To lower our carbon footprint and enhance product efficiency, we intend to revamp our manufacturing processes by incorporating green technology and sustainable practices.
