| The Company is committed to preserve and protect the environment
around its area of operations. As a result of a the well-defined policy on
environment and safety the rocky terrain of the Kota complex has been
transformed in to lush green tree covered landscape through planting of over
1,50,000 trees on nutritious beds of fly-ash. Planting of over 200,000 trees
around Nimoda mines, Nimoda (Rajasthan) has also been carried out.
The Company has adopted Rainwater harvesting initiatives across the board by
transferring it to the underground water aquifers or storing in surface
reservoirs. Rainwater collected is put to "process use", thus conserving a
precious natural resource and reducing dependence on external sources. Spurred
by this rainwater harvesting movement, several senior executives of the company
have taken their own initiative to implement the same process in their
residences.
