              Initiatives                                                Benefits

              Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Cross Function Team (CFT) &     Improved plant reliability, improvement in heat rate, reduction
              Performance Optimisation Group (POG) have been formed      in Auxiliary Power Consumption (APC) and to avoid repetitive
              and recommended action points have been followed-up on     failures in future

              Hot air gate replacement with improved design              Reduces mill downtime in terms of mill internal cooling

              Adoption of hybrid start-up practice with mini oil guns    Cold start-up oil consumption brought down by 20 kL (approx.)

              Adoption of practice of turbine rolling in Automatic Turbine   Chances of human error during rolling reduced significantly as
              Control (ATC) mode                                         manual intervention is eliminated
