Energy efficiency policies in
China and India
To encourage the energy efficient technologies and operational practices in micro, small and
medium enterprises sectors in India, BEE has initiated the energy efficiency interventions in
selected 25 clusters15 during the Eleventh Five Year Plan period. During the Twelfth Five Year
Plan period, implementations of 100 technology demonstration projects in 5 SME sectors are
envisaged to facilitate large scale replication.16
To sensitize Indian MSMEs to upgrade their manufacturing processes towards usage of energy
efficient technologies, the scheme Technology and Quality Up-gradation Support to Micro,
Small and Medium Enterprises (TEQUP) was launched under the National Manufacturing
Competitiveness Programme by the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. From
2010-11 to 2015-16, 1073 product certificates have been reimbursed while 299 MSMEs have
been assisted for energy efficiency technology (DCMSME, 2015).
Box 3: Energy efficiency in industry: A snapshot
Policies/ Programmes under implementation
The National Manufacturing Policy, 2011, aims to make growth in the manufacturing
sector sustainable through green technologies and energy efficiency amongst others
• Energy Conservation Act, 2001 created the BEE with the primary mandate of
reducing energy intensity of the Indian economy
• Perform, Achieve & Trade (PAT) programme under NMEEE in NAPCC to reduce
specific energy consumption in energy intensive industries
• Energy efficient interventions in selected 25 SME clusters by BEE and
implementation of technology demonstration projects in 5 SME sectors.
• Scheme on ‘Technology & Quality Upgradation Support to MSMEs (TEQUP)’ under
NMCP launched by MoMSME aims to sensitize Indian MSMEs to upgrade their
existing manufacturing processes towards usage of energy efficient technologies
Policies/ Programme under consideration
Expanding the coverage of the PAT scheme to more industrial units and including three
more energy intensive industrial sectors.
