- Sector emissions contribution: Transportation accounts for 14% of India's pollution, with two-wheelers representing 75% of vehicles on the road and contributing roughly 1.2% to overall emissions.
- Operational sustainability targets: Aiming for carbon neutrality and zero waste to landfill by 2030, the company has already cut carbon emissions by 45% and reached 500% water positivity by returning five times more water than it consumes.
- Product recyclability rate: Recyclability across products has reached 95%, surpassing the AIS 129 automotive industry standard requirement of 80%.
- Near-term fuel strategy: Because the power grid currently has a 70% carbon intensity, the company is prioritizing flex fuels and biofuels for near-term decarbonisation while viewing electrification and green hydrogen as long-term pathways toward India's 2070 net-zero goal.
