On the occasion of International Water Day 2024, Renault Nissan Automotive India Pvt. Ltd. (RNAIPL) has announced that it has received Platinum category recognition for water-positive operations in 2023 following a rigorous audit conducted in February 2024 by DQS, an internationally accredited ISO certification body specialising in audits, assessments & trainings across the globe.
RNAIPL has been certified for its successful implementation of a comprehensive water footprint reduction strategy, including extensive rainwater harvesting, intensive wastewater recycling, and water replenishment actions. The plant is also a zero-discharge facility, using recycled water for various industrial purposes.
RNAIPL, a Renault Nissan plant, meets 85% of its water requirements through rainwater harvesting and re-uses water from its Effluent Treatment Plants and Water Treatment Plants for industrial purposes. The plant recently expanded its sewage water recycling capacity from 120 kilo-litres to 300 kilo-litres per day. It is one of the least dependent plants in the global Renault Nissan Alliance and aims to achieve a 21% reduction in water usage by 2030. Commenting on this milestone, Keerthi Prakash, Managing Director, RNAIPL, said, “We remain dedicated to enhancing our water efficiency and minimising our environmental footprint, ensuring a brighter and more sustainable future for all.”
