Facing challenges in a low-profit market, Tripatra committed to TPM, with a spotlight on environmental, social, and governance standards. The company’s gender equality commitment, digital transformation initiatives, and challenges with local content regulations were discussed. The TPM implementation led to tangible successes, such as reduced man-hours for engineering projects and accelerated construction timelines.
