friendly exploration environment backed by targeted incentives for frontier exploration, stratigraphic
drilling, and data acquisition.

These reforms have enabled the kind of bold, risk-informed and scientific exploration now underway in
the Andaman-Nicobar basin and other deepwater regions, offering the potential to significantly boost
India’s energy security and self-reliance.

Union Minister for Power and Housing & Urban Affairs, Shri Manohar Lal launched ADEETIE Scheme to
Accelerate Industrial Energy Efficiency in India

The Assistance in Deploying Energy Efficient Technologies in Industries & Establishments
(ADEETIE) scheme is officially launched by Hon’ble Union Minister of Power and Housing & Urban Affairs,
Shri Manohar Lal at a national roll-out event held at Arya (P.G.) College, Panipat, Haryana. The launch of
this landmark initiative marks a decisive step toward India’s transition to a low-carbon economy by
enabling Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to upgrade to energy-efficient technologies
through comprehensive financial and technical support.

The ADEETIE scheme, with a budgetary outlay of ?1000 crore, is an initiative by the Ministry of Power,
Government of India, is being implemented by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). The Scheme is
structured to provide end -to-end hand holding through subvention on loans, Investment Grade Energy
Audits (IGEA), Detailed Project Reports (DPRs), and post-implementation Monitoring and Verification
(M&V). The scheme envisages to provide interest subvention of 5% for Micro and Small Enterprises, and
3% for Medium Enterprises on loans, ensuring accessibility and affordability for MSMEs seeking financial
aid for energy efficiency (EE) projects.

Hon’ble Minister of Power and Housing & Urban Affairs, Shri Manohar Lal graced the event and
inaugurated the scheme. On this occasion, he officially launched the ADEETIE portal
(adeetie.beeindia.gov.in) and unveiled the Scheme Brochure. The portal will facilitate the financing
process for the beneficiaries. In his keynote address, he emphasized the importance of power in driving
economic growth, aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat. He highlighted the role of renewables, energy
efficiency, and environmental conservation, especially in the MSME sector. The Minister noted various
technologies featured in the ADEETIE scheme can help MSMEs reduce energy consumption by 30–50%,
improve the power-to-product ratio, and support the creation of green energy corridors.

“ADEETIE is a transformative movement to empower Indian industries, especially MSMEs, to become
globally competitive through sustainability. With the right mix of incentives and support mechanisms, we
are catalyzing investments in cleaner, more efficient technologies.”

The Hon’ble Minister also underscored the significance of industrial energy efficiency in reducing India’s
carbon footprint and achieving its international climate commitments.

Shri Pankaj Agarwal, Secretary, Ministry of Power, highlighted the pivotal role of BEE in scaling up
energy efficiency projects and mainstreaming them across India’s industrial ecosystem. He highlighted
the scheme’s focus on widespread adoption across 14 energy-intensive sectors and 60 identified
