Precision Camshafts Ltd Strengthens Sustainability Push, Achieves 44% Renewable Energy Consumption​

Precision Camshafts Limited (PCL), a leading manufacturer of precision components for the automotive industry, has provided an in-depth Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) covering the financial year 2025-26. The report details PCL's commitment to environmental stewardship, employee welfare, and ethical governance while maintaining its global operational footprint.

PCL specializes in manufacturing a diverse range of metal and metal products, including chilled cast iron, ductile iron, hybrid, and assembled camshafts. These critical components are engineered for performance and reliability across various engine configurations. The company serves leading automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier-1 suppliers both domestically and internationally. PCL's extensive market reach includes operations serving 29 states in India and 17 countries globally. Exports constitute 35% of the total turnover, underscoring the company’s strong global presence.

Environmental Commitments and Resource Efficiency​

A key highlight of PCL’s sustainability efforts is its transition towards renewable energy sources. The company successfully commissioned a 29 MW solar power plant in Mangalwedha, Solapur, significantly boosting its sustainable practices. This commitment resulted in the manufacturing facility consuming 44% of its total electricity consumption from renewable sources during the reporting year.

PCL maintains rigorous standards for resource management across its facilities. The company's water intensity is measured at 1.42 units per rupee of turnover (as compared to 1.22 units per rupee in FY 2024-25). Although total water consumption saw an increase, attributed to the installation and utilization of new induction hardening machines for cooling purposes and increased green cover expansion, PCL remains committed to conservation initiatives.

The company has implemented a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) mechanism across its manufacturing operations. Process water is collected and treated through a dedicated Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP), with residual streams sent to an evaporator system before disposal through authorized recyclers, ensuring no untreated wastewater is discharged from the facility.

Key environmental metrics for PCL in FY 2025-26 are detailed below:

Social Governance and Workforce Well-being​

PCL places a high priority on fostering a safe, inclusive, and supportive workplace culture. The company provides comprehensive coverage for its workforce: all permanent employees are covered by health and accident insurance, and eligible female employees benefit from maternity benefits. PCL ensures that all its manufacturing plants and corporate offices comply with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, providing accessible infrastructure to support disabled persons.

In terms of labor management, PCL reports a total of 713 permanent employees and 470 permanent workers. The company's leadership structure benefits from diverse representation, noting that women constitute 44% of the Board of Directors (BoD). A robust grievance redressal mechanism is in place for both employees and workers to address concerns related to working conditions, safety, and compensation.

The commitment to employee development remains strong, with training coverage reported at 62.41% among permanent employees concerning health and safety measures in FY 2025-26. Furthermore, the company ensures responsible practices across its supply chain, conducting training for value chain partners on topics such as behavioral safety and electrical safety.

Ethical Conduct and Risk Mitigation​

PCL maintains a transparent approach to governance by adhering to anti-corruption and anti-bribery policies. The company also established clear internal mechanisms to manage conflicts of interest. PCL reports zero complaints received during FY 2025-26 regarding sexual harassment, discrimination at the workplace, child labour, or forced labour.

The organization has actively managed various operational risks:

• Health and Safety: The company employs a structured Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) process to proactively manage occupational health and safety across all processes.
• Customer Satisfaction: Customer feedback is monitored through established systems, with PCL recognizing that customer satisfaction is critical for maintaining long-term OEM relationships.

PCL's dedication to continuous improvement—from integrating ESG into business strategy to ensuring zero liquid discharge—reaffirms its commitment to becoming a resilient and responsible corporate citizen in the manufacturing sector.
