CONSERVATION OF ENERGY, TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION, FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNINGS AND OUTGO
(A) Conservation of Energy
The Company continues to invest in environment friendly and sustainable operations,
through high precision operations excellence, adopting innovation projects and building
automation. Through these initiatives, the Company is contributing in reducing the carbon
footprints.
i) The steps taken and impact on conservation of energy
During the year, the Company further strengthened its focus on energy efficiency and
sustainable operations by expanding the deployment of its Energy Management System (EMS')
across 100+ additional stores nationwide, taking the total EMS-enabled store count to over
2,100 locations. This expansion enables real-time monitoring and optimization of energy
consumption across stores, supporting data-driven decision-making and improved operational
efficiency.
In parallel, the Company accelerated the transition towards cleaner and more efficient
power solutions by deploying Lithium-ion based Uninterruptible Power Supply (Li-ion
UPS') systems in over 100 stores, significantly reducing dependence on diesel
generators. This shift contributes to lower emissions, reduced fuel consumption and
improved reliability of backup power systems.
Further, LPG auto-changeover systems were implemented at more than 250 sites across the
country, ensuring optimal utilization of LPG cylinders and minimizing wastage. This
initiative has led to improved fuel efficiency and enhanced safety at store locations.
Additionally, the Company continues to prioritize energy-efficient infrastructure in its
new stores, with inverter-based air-conditioning systems being actively deployed to
deliver better energy performance, lower power consumption and enhanced indoor comfort.
Collectively, these initiatives underscore the Company's ongoing commitment to operational
efficiency, sustainability and responsible resource management.
ii) The steps taken by the Company for utilising alternate sources of energy a)
Renewable energy: The Company's Sustainability Framework is anchored on four key
pillarsFood, Planet, People & Communities and Governance. Through materiality
assessment, the Company identified Climate Change as a priority sustainability issue. In
line with this commitment, the Company transitioned its Commissaries to renewable energy
through open access and a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), enabling nearly 52.7% renewable
energy consumption during FY 2026, equivalent to approximately 50,213 GJ of clean energy.
This initiative supports the Company's efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and advance
its sustainability goals.
b) E-Bikes: The Company continues to strengthen its commitment to sustainable
last-mile delivery by significantly expanding the deployment of electric bikes in line
with its growing fleet and business requirements. During FY 2026, the proportion of
e-bikes and e-cycles in the delivery fleet increased to 67%, reflecting steady progress
towards reducing dependence on fossil-fuel-based mobility solutions. This initiative plays
a meaningful role in lowering the Company's carbon footprint while supporting a transition
to environmentally responsible operations. The Company remains focused on implementing
e-bikes across all new stores, taking into consideration local terrain and operational
feasibility. Notably, all delivery bikes used in Popeyes and Hong's Kitchen continue to be
fully electric, reinforcing the Company's commitment to sustainable delivery formats.
c) Petrol: The Company further optimized petrol consumption for conventional
delivery bikes by implementing predictive fuel limits aligned with business demand
patterns. This data-driven intervention resulted in a reduction of petrol consumption by
approximately 9 lakh litres, translating into cost savings of about H9 crore during the
year. These efficiency measures have helped curtail fuel usage while sustaining
operational scale, thereby contributing to lower emissions and enhanced cost efficiency in
delivery operations.
d) Piped Natural Gas: The Company expanded the adoption of cleaner fuel
alternatives across its store network by adding 24 new outlets on Piped Natural Gas (PNG)
during the year, increasing the total number of PNG-enabled stores to 256. PNG, being a
cleaner-burning fuel with lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to LPG, continues to
play an important role in the Company's energy transition strategy. Additionally, PNG
installations are currently in progress at another 150 stores, which is expected to
further strengthen the Company's efforts towards sustainable and responsible store
operations.
iii) The capital investment on energy conservation equipment
Capital investment on energy conservation equipment during FY 2026 was approx.
H1,104.42 million.
