Headline intensities
Carbon per million dollars of revenue. The legacy industry-standard reference (CDP, MSCI). Useful for cross-sector context, but distorted by margin — high-margin firms appear artificially efficient. Read alongside the operational and asset intensities for the full picture.
OpEx (operating expenditure) is the running cost of the business — staff, services, energy, materials. This shows how carbon-intensive operations are per million dollars of spend. Removes the margin distortion that revenue-based ratios introduce.
EVIC (Enterprise Value Including Cash) is the firm's total capital footprint — equity + debt + cash + minority interest. The EU's standard intensity measure (SFDR PAI 3) — answers: how much carbon does each million of capital deployed in this business produce?
PP&E (Property, Plant & Equipment) plus leased real-estate assets is the firm's physical infrastructure on the balance sheet. This shows the carbon intensity of that physical footprint — uses Scope 1+2+3 for consistency with the other headline intensities. Surfaces stranded-asset risk for asset-heavy firms.

Strategy & approach
How the firm describes its decarbonisation approach in its own words — alongside the headline numbers above. Self-reported, page-cited.
Lupin has commissioned off-grid rooftop solar PV plants totaling 1.06 MW at Tarapur, Goa and Nagpur sites, reducing emissions by 925 tCO2e. At the Mandideep site, 4 MW of open-access renewable power has been procured. Biomass briquette boilers (5 TPH at Ankleshwar, 8 TPH at Tarapur) replace fossil-fuel boilers, saving an estimated 2,000 tCO2e. Renewable electricity stood at 19% in FY25, targeting 35% by 2030.
No narrative on durable removals approach in the firm's most recent reports.
- Energy efficiency in manufacturing (chillers, AHU motors, screw presses)
Replaced inefficient chillers with energy-efficient ones and converted open-loop chilled brine to closed-loop at Tarapur. Installed EC motors for AHU at Pithampur. Multipurpose screw presses replaced decanters at Ankleshwar, Mandideep, Pithampur and Goa saving ~600,000 kWh/year. Air-to-air heat exchanger installed for fermentation process air at Tarapur.
- Fuel switching to biomass briquette boilers
Commissioned biomass briquette boilers (5 TPH at Ankleshwar, 8 TPH at Tarapur) to switch fuel mix away from fossil sources, reducing emissions by an estimated 2,000 tCO2e.
- Green propellants for pMDI inhalers
Pressurized Metered Dose Inhalers (pMDI) currently use propellants with high global warming potential. Lupin is developing green propellants with near-zero GWP and working on actions across the value chain to reduce associated emissions.
- Water circularity and Zero Liquid Discharge
Implemented Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) at six manufacturing facilities. Water-reduction initiatives include using RO reject water for cooling tower makeup, and AHU condensate water for canteen cleaning. Achieved 7% water withdrawal reduction vs FY21 baseline.
- Value chain supplier ESG assessment
100% of critical raw material and packaging material suppliers undergo ESG assessment. Eight awareness programs were conducted for value chain partners on sustainability basics, BRSR regulations, human rights and GHG emissions reduction, covering 100% of strategic and critical material/packaging suppliers.
