Besides having installed over 9,000 solar pumping systems all over India, cutting carbon dioxide emission by more than 52,000 tonnes a year, CRI’s solar division has supplied over 43,000 AC and DC submersible pump sets and is investing in IoT (Internet of Things) enabled smart pumps that can be operated remotely with mobile phones or auto programmes. It has supplied over 60,000 such pump sets so far.

Every pump shipped out from CRIs manufacturing units also carries a rainwater harvesting (RWH) manual. Reaching over 1.5 million people annually, this works as a communication tool to spread awareness on the importance of RWH. the company also supports the construction of RWH structures across its nationwide dealer network. The repeated emphasis on the significance of saving water for the future and as a core conservation agenda has, over the years, created a positive societal change that helps the successful implementation of RWH.

The imminent need to improve the groundwater level has also spurred CRI to create a nationwide awareness programme, which has spread its wings among the general public on the necessity for adopting measures to replenish water in its natural storages, prevent water pollution and avoid water wastage.

The company has also constructed an eco-friendly biomass gasifier crematorium, Moksha Griha, using wood, a renewable energy source, as fuel. The only ISO-certified (ISO 9001: 2008) crematorium in India, this facility is also the first crematorium to be been awarded the IGBC (India Green Building Council) Platinum rating for its green landscape.
