Senior Officer – HSE & Telecom Maintenance| Vadodara Pipeline Receiving Station, Vadodara

• Unlocked 73% more receipt capacity with no capital spend: root-caused a throughput ceiling the site had priced as fixed to filtration, resolving it lifted flow from 550 KL/hr to 950 KL/hr, setting an all-time single-day record of 21,164 KL
• Delivered ₹1+ Cr in savings and asset recovery: slashed electricity costs by ₹69 lakh by lowering backpressure from 8 to 2 kg/cm² (GM-certified OPEX program); restored the failed telecom network in 1 month at ₹1 lakh vs ₹20 lakh budgeted (95% under); redeployed ₹18.5 lakh of surplus pipe to another HPCL site
• Standardised procurement beyond the station: consolidated ₹1.94 Cr of common PRs and carried out a common safety & security tender for all HPCL Gujarat locations and also prepared a ₹1.57 Cr emission-retrofit device tender for all Gujarat locations

• Cut ₹41 lakh (4.33%) from a ₹9.47 Cr annual power bill by stacking five levers (tariff-window pumping, night and EHV rebates, power factor and solar) and capped demand at 2,800 kVA via a PLC guardrail worth ₹1.5 lakh/month
• Built the business case for a 1 MW hybrid wind–solar PPA under Gujarat's 2018 hybrid renewable policy, running the pre-feasibility in-house (₹2.7 lakh saved), modelling ₹26–50 lakh/yr in savings and carrying it to GM (Renewables)
• Won ₹2.75 Cr of capital approval across eight proposals by building and defending the case at each gate, and recovered ₹15.3 lakh of receivables stuck with the state utility for nine years, plus ₹1.18 lakh of disputed tax credit
