HPCL Plants More than 15000 Saplings & Trees to Celebrate Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav

Mumbai – 17.06.2022

In a nationwide campaign towards a sustainable greener planet, Maharatna Oil & Gas CPSE, HPCL planted more than 15000 saplings & trees during the iconic week celebrations of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav.

A Nationwide campaign was launched on 5th June 2022, World Environment Day by HPCL. On this occasion, Director Finance & Director HR (addl. Charge), Sh. Rajneesh Narang along with EDs & Senior officials planted saplings at HP Nagar East & West Colonies of Mumbai. The campaign was launched as part of the Iconic week of Department of Public Enterprises, Ministry of Finance, Govt. of India.

The campaign was taken forward enthusiastically by SBUs & Departments across the length and breadth of the Country through plantation of more than 15000 saplings & trees against an earlier commitment of 4000 saplings & trees. This was committed so that CPSEs together may plant more than 75000 saplings & trees during the iconic week.

In years to come this plantation drive by HPCL will lead to absorption of close to 225 to 600 tons of CO2 per year, as a tree normally absorbs between 10 and 40 Kgs of CO2 per year on an average. Human activities are altering the carbon cycle–both by adding more CO2 to the atmosphere and by influencing the ability of forests and soils, to remove and store CO2 from the atmosphere.
