The initiatives that Tamil Nadu Newsprint & Papers Ltd. (TNPL) will undertake are valued at 607 crore and will improve energy efficiency through the renovation of steam and power systems (RSPS), 2MW rooftop solar, and a 500 M3 wastewater treatment plant.

It is necessary to complete the Revamping of Steam and Power System (RSPS) # 2 in order to seamlessly integrate RSPS # 2 with the current coal feeding system and steam and power distribution system.

“This is estimated to be completed by June 2025 with a capital outlay of ₹520 crore, out of which ₹100 crore would be spent in the current year,” according to M Sai Kumar, Chairman and Managing Director of TNPL.

The Revamping of Steam and Power System (RSPS) # 2, though initiated in the year 2019, was kept in abeyance due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, the project implementation is now proposed to be taken up. It shall be carried out in a phased manner for a seamless integration of RSPS #2 with the existing coal feeding systems and steam and power distribution systems.
