Background:

The project intends to develop and promote market environment for MSMEs by introducing energy efficient technologies and enhancing the use of identified technologies in the clusters. The programme focuses on ten clusters from seven sectors (Pulp & Paper, Textile, Food Processing, Pharma, Chemical & Dye, Foundry & Forging, Iron & Steel). The project is under GEF programmatic framework for energy efficiency in India and includes United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) as the Implementing Agency (IA) and Ministry of MSME as the Lead Executing Agency (EA). The key executing partner for the project is Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL). Small Industrial Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) are the guiding agencies for the project.

The project specific objectives are as follows:

a) promote implementation of energy efficiency in the MSME sector;

b) create and sustain a mechanism that would ensure replication of energy efficiency measures in the sector;

c) create a revolving fund by apportioning a part of the revenues from the aggregator (EESL) that would sustain the activities beyond the life of this project; and

d) to address the identified barriers for scaling-up energy efficiency measures and consequently promote a cleaner and more competitive MSME industry in India.

Energy Saving Target:

The project is expected to result directly 956,183.80 GJ of energy savings per year, with lifetime investment for 10 years, as a result of saving of 9,561,838 GJ energy. There will be a target of reduction of 86,000 Tonnes of CO2 emission per year.

i. 740 surveys, 100 baseline studies and 90 detailed energy audits have been completed in 10 clusters.

ii. 110 MSME units directly benefitted through MSME technology manufacturers and technology suppliers under 19 technologies. 35 technical workshops have been organized in which 2500 MSME personnel benefitted in capacity building till October 2021.

iii. 470 MSME units will be directly benefitted by adoption of 35 energy efficient technologies. So far, due to this intervention, around 50 MSME units have implemented these energy efficient technologies in their units.

iv. The project is also in the process of developing and training 100 local service providers (LSPs) related to those energy efficient technologies

v. It is on the path of creating an investment opportunity to the tune of 150 mn USD.

vi. So far, 17 technologies have been implemented in 31 MSME Units at the identified clusters which has resulted into a reduction of 3585.21 tonnes of CO2 and allied energy savings of 697.906 MWh of Electricity, 1203.7 tonnes of Coal, 234 MT/y of Furnace Oil and 25039 KL of Water, 98512 SCM/Y of Natural Gas and 321 Tonnes of Material per year. This in terms of monetary value can be accounted to the tune of Rs. 155.66 Lakh per year.

(b) Single Use Plastic (SUP) : Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change had issued a notification in the Gazette of India vide G.S.R. 571(E) on 12th August 2021 for amending Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016, inter alia prohibiting the use of identified single use plastic items by 2022.Considering the adverse impacts of littered plastic waste on both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, Ministry of MSME is actively supporting the Implementation of Plastic Waste Management Rule-2016 and its amendment in the year 2018 & 2021 including phasing out of notified single use plastic items across the MSMEs. The details of the few actions taken are as below:
