Tamil Nadu Newsprint & Papers (TNPL) will undertake Rs 607 crore worth of projects which will include energy efficiency improvement through the revamping of steam and power systems (RSPS), two MW rooftop solar, and a 500 M3 wastewater treatment plant. The RSPS will be carried out for seamless integration of RSPS no. 2 with the existing coal feeding system and steam and power distribution system. The completetion is expected by June 2025 and would involve a capital outlay of Rs 520 crore, out of which Rs 100 crore would be spent in the current year. The project envisages the installation of two high-pressure boilers to enable supply of utilities like steam and power for mill operations. TNPL will also implement a floating solar project with a capacity of two MW, under a programme. The company also proposes to install a 500 M3/day wastewater treatment plant at Unit-1 to treat effluent and reuse it internally, thereby reducing the rate of discharge of effluent to less than 25 M3/MT of paper. The estimated project cost is Rs 75 crore. Additionally, TNPL is exploring new segments to forward integrate into value-added products using paper and boards as raw materials and is in active discussions with paper machine manufacturers. The company has already developed captive power plants with a capacity of 103.69 MW, as of March 31, 2023. Besides this, TNPL has wind farms with an installed capacity of 35.5 MW. |
