How does HMI's effort towards going green resonate with Hyundai Motors' overall global manufacturing practices? Is there any exchange of best practices or ideas at the global level with sister plants?

Hyundai Motor Group follows the same manufacturing processes all over the world and has the best systems in terms of efficient energy usage and monitoring. Best practices of overseas plants are benchmarked and adopted in our plant and vice versa. Environment initiatives of our plant are continuously monitored by our parent company and rated.

Hyundai Motor India is a zero discharge plant and has one of the most environmentally sustainable manufacturing processes. We have regular monitoring of various processes including inline systems and keep changing our processes to meet new benchmarks.

What role can legislation / govt. policies play in furthering the cause of ‘Green Manufacturing'? How important will ‘environment management' be for the ‘Make in India' campaign?
There are policies already in place to ensure and further the cause of Green Manufacturing. At HMIL, we adhere to all statutory compliance with in house waste water treatment facilities, air & solid waste management systems etc. HMIL has developed an online monitoring system with real time connectivity to the regulating authorities for real time monitoring and compliance.

We believe that well regulated and consistent policies coupled with good infrastructure and easy clearances will go a long way towards making India an environmentally compliant manufacturing destination.
