The revenue impact of the distillery operations in FY- 2017 is not significant, the company said in a BSE filing.

"We have complied with the directions issued by the NGT and have, with effect from today, restarted our manufacturing operations in Gajraula( except the distillery unit)," it said.

Being a good corporate citizen, the company said that it is an environmentally conscious company and focusses on the triple bottom line of economic, environmental and social performance.
"Our sustainability performance has been published since the year 2003 in accordance with the principles and guidelines of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) with the highest A+ level rating which is externally verified," it said.

The company operates its manufacturing facilities in Gajraula with zero liquid discharge. In 2016, its manufacturing facilities in Gajraula were awarded the gold category for their sustainability performance, and were rated among the top five per cent global performers as evaluated by Eco Vadis during its latest evaluation.
