Klüber Lubrication India supports the cement industry’s sustainability goals with advanced synthetic lubricants that boost energy efficiency, reduce CO2 emissions, and ensure regulatory compliance. Their solutions offer fast ROI, operational excellence, and alignment with global environmental targets like net-zero.

The cement industry plays a crucial role in infrastructure development but also faces growing pressure to reduce its environmental impact. At Klüber Lubrication India, we support cement manufacturers in meeting their sustainability targets with advanced lubrication solutions that improve efficiency, lower energy consumption, and cut emissions.

Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) for Top-Listed Companies
As sustainability continues to be a key focus for industries, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has mandated Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) for the top 1,000 listed companies. This framework requires organisations to disclose their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives, including energy conservation, emission reductions, and resource optimisation. Beyond compliance, BRSR reporting allows companies to showcase their sustainability leadership and build investor confidence. Organisations that proactively address sustainability challenges are better positioned to attract long-term investors, secure financing, and maintain a competitive advantage in an evolving regulatory landscape.
Our high-performance synthetic lubricants play a crucial role in helping cement manufacturers meet these regulatory requirements by enhancing energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions in critical machinery such as vertical roller mills (VRMs) and main gearboxes. By adopting our energy-efficient solutions, companies can strengthen their BRSR compliance while achieving tangible operational benefits.

Supporting Your Net Zero Targets
The global push for net-zero emissions is driving cement manufacturers to adopt sustainable practices that significantly cut down their carbon footprint. Our Klüber Energy Efficiency solutions are specifically designed to contribute to this goal. By switching from conventional mineral oils to our advanced synthetic lubricants, cement plants can achieve energy savings of up to 3.9 per cent while reducing CO2 emissions. These savings are achieved through lower friction, reduced wear and tear, and improved thermal stability, resulting in optimised equipment performance and a longer service life. Moreover, by reducing power consumption in critical machinery, our solutions directly support corporate sustainability commitments, aligning with Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and net-zero roadmaps.
Additionally, by lowering energy consumption, companies can benefit from reduced dependency on non-renewable energy sources, decreasing their overall environmental impact. Klüber Lubrication India’s advanced lubrication solutions ensure that cement plants can achieve operational efficiency while making significant progress toward their decarbonisation goals.

EcoVadis 2025: Klüber Lubrication Wins GOLD for the Fourth Consecutive Year
Sustainability is deeply embedded in our corporate ethos, and we take pride in being recognised among the world’s most responsible companies. In 2025, Klüber Lubrication once again secured the EcoVadis GOLD certification, marking the fourth consecutive year of this achievement. This places us among the top 3 per cent of over 150,000 rated companies worldwide. The EcoVadis assessment evaluates sustainability performance across key areas such as environmental impact, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Our continued recognition reaffirms our dedication to providing customers with sustainable solutions that drive efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and contribute to a greener future for the cement industry.
This recognition reflects our proactive approach to responsible business practices. We actively invest in research and development to enhance the sustainability of our products, ensuring that they not only meet industry standards but exceed expectations. Our EcoVadis achievement underscores our mission to support customers in achieving their sustainability goals with proven, reliable solutions. Winning this award four years in a row further strengthens our position as a trusted partner in the global push for sustainable industrial practices.

Investment Less Than 1 Cr, Payback in Less Than a Year: Least Effort, Maximum Returns
Cement manufacturers often hesitate to invest in sustainability initiatives due to concerns about cost and return on investment. However, our energy efficiency projects offer a compelling business case: with an investment of less than 1 crore INR, companies can achieve a payback period of less than a year.
By switching to Klübersynth GEM 4-320 N, an energy-efficient Polyalphaolefin (PAO) based synthetic oil, a single vertical roller mill main gearbox with a sump capacity of 6000 litres and a 6.5 MW motor rating can achieve annual energy savings of over 13,08,060 kWh. This results in a significant reduction in carbon emissions, equivalent to several hundred tonnes of CO2 (tCO2 equivalent), thereby contributing to long-term asset reliability and operational excellence.
The advantage of this solution lies in its simplicity. With minimal modifications and downtime, cement plants can quickly transition to an optimised lubrication strategy that enhances equipment efficiency, extends service life, and generates measurable cost savings. By investing in high-performance lubrication technology, manufacturers can achieve sustainability milestones while maximising profitability.

Driving Sustainability with Innovation
The cement industry’s sustainability journey is one that requires continuous innovation and collaboration. By leveraging our high-performance lubrication solutions, companies can achieve energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, and align with global environmental goals. At Klüber Lubrication India, we remain committed to driving this transformation and helping our customers build a greener, more sustainable future. Through strategic investments in technology and sustainability-driven initiatives, we empower the cement industry to achieve operational excellence while fulfilling its environmental responsibilities.

With our vast expertise in tribology, our company has specialised experience in the development and manufacture of tailor-made specialty lubricants for over 90 years.

The New Delhi Municipal Council has launched an intensive sanitation drive across Lutyens’ Delhi, aiming to raise cleanliness standards in the capital’s central precincts. The programme will combine enhanced manual sweeping with mechanised cleaning and systematic waste removal to cover parks, heritage precincts and prominent thoroughfares. Authorities described the initiative as a sustained effort to improve public hygiene and reduce environmental hazards while maintaining the area’s civic image.

Operational teams have been instructed to prioritise drain clearing and litter hotspots, with special attention to markets and transit nodes that attract heavy footfall. Coordination with city utilities and waste processing units will be stepped up to ensure timely collection and disposal, and supervisory rounds will monitor adherence to cleaning schedules. Officials also intend to use data-driven planning to deploy resources efficiently and to identify recurring problem areas.

The council plans to engage resident welfare associations and business stakeholders to foster community participation in maintaining cleanliness and to support behavioural change campaigns. Public communication will be amplified through notices and outreach to encourage responsible waste handling and to inform residents about collection timings and segregation norms. Enforcement measures for littering and unauthorised dumping will be reinforced as part of a broader strategy to deter violations and sustain cleanliness gains.

The move reflects a focus on urban sanitation that officials link to public health priorities and to the city administration’s commitment to maintaining civic amenities. Monitoring mechanisms will include regular reporting and inspections to review outcomes and to recalibrate operations where necessary, according to municipal sources. The council emphasised that continued community cooperation will be essential for the drive to deliver lasting improvements in the appearance and hygiene of the capital’s core areas.
