Hero MotoCorp’s Gurugram manufacturing facility in Haryana has been awarded the CII National Award for Excellence in Water Management. The award recognizes the company’s innovative and efficient water management initiatives.
Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, is on track to achieve its 500% water-positive target by 2025. The company is currently saving nearly 3.8 million kiloliters of water annually. The company is moving towards water stewardship by reducing water usage and wastage while creating access to water for communities beyond its premises.
To achieve this, Hero MotoCorp has implemented measures such as replacing RO filtration with Ultra Filtration (UF), reusing machine RO reject water in cooling towers, increasing the efficiency of DM and R.O plants, and adopting cascading rinsing over continuous rinsing. Additionally, the company is investing in recycling domestic and processed water and building 34 recharge shafts within the plant premises. In FY 2022-23, Hero MotoCorp treated 1,40,612 KLs of water, with 96,139 KLs recycled and 4,4473 KLs reused for horticulture.
