Strategic Insights

— 2 min read

The Government of India has launched the Assistance in Deploying Energy Efficient Technologies in Industries and Establishments (ADEETIE) scheme, a landmark initiative aimed at enabling Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to upgrade to energy-efficient technologies. The scheme, with a budgetary outlay of ₹10,000 crore, is an initiative by the Ministry of Power, implemented by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). It provides end-to-end handholding through subvention on loans, Investment Grade Energy Audits (IGEA), Detailed Project Reports (DPRs), and post-implementation Monitoring and Verification (MandV).

Key Takeaways:

  • The ADEETIE scheme provides 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.
  • The scheme is expected to mobilize ₹9,000 crore in investments, including ₹7,750 crore of prospective lending from MSMEs.
  • The implementation approach will follow a phased roll-out, beginning with 60 industrial clusters in the first phase, followed by an additional 100 clusters in the second phase.
  • The scheme targets 14 energy-intensive sectors, including Brass, Bricks, Ceramics, Chemicals, Fishery, Food Processing, Forging, Foundry, Glass, Leather, Paper, Pharma, Steel Re-rolling, and Textiles.
  • The scheme will be implemented over three years, spanning FY 2025-26 to FY 2027-28, allowing for progressive deployment, course correction, and scaling based on early outcomes.
  • The total outlay of ₹10,000 crore will be used for interest subvention (₹8,75 crore), Investment Grade Energy Audit support (₹5 crore), and handholding support through BEE (₹7.5 crore).
  • The ADEETIE portal (adeetie.beeindia.gov.in) will facilitate the financing process for beneficiaries.
  • The launch of the scheme is expected to empower MSMEs to adopt cleaner technologies, enhance productivity, and contribute to a greener industrial ecosystem.
