We actively monitor 22 engineered, non-operational dams, including 3 declared dams.
Although none of the dams are operational, we conduct regular inspections and apply quality assurance processes to all 22 dams. We carry out these activities in compliance with the relevant acts and regulatory requirements, ensuring safety, accountability, and environmental responsibility. This proactive monitoring ensures safety, compliance, and environmental stewardship across all sites.
