Set up in 1991 Poddar Pigments Limited is a manufacturer of Color & Additive Masterbatches for dope dyeing of man-made fibers and various plastic applications. The company also produces a wide range of additive masterbatches which cater to the blown-film raffia engineering plastic and other general-purpose plastic industries.
The company has installed a modern laboratory and analytical facilities at the plant for testing and quality control of raw materials, intermediate products and finished goods. It has also installed pilot plants for multi-filament yarn spinning injection molding and blow molding equipment to test and pre-determine the quality of the products. It also produces LDPE-based masterbatches.
As a result, over the last few years, the company has been actively looking at Rooftop solar as a possible means to reduce its carbon footprint. This is where SafEarth came in and helped make their dream become a reality. The Rooftop CAPEX Solar installation of 615 kW has helped Poddar Pigments Ltd reduce 1205 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year.

Project Workflow
SafEarth is proud to be a part of this journey. This is how we helped their transformation:
Project Design:
Upon signing with Poddar Pigments Ltd, SafEarth first visited the site and made a detailed engineering report for the project. The designed system optimized the generation and the return on investment of the plant. Best industry practices have been used in this system.
Vendor Selection:
The SafEarth team then selected 12 pre screened vendors from the companies registered on our portal. All these companies are industry leaders.
Online Auction:
These companies were given a week to review the Detailed Engineering to help them ascertain their costs up to 99% accuracy. They then participated in an Online Reverse Auction on our Platform.
