Report on activities of Japan-India Technology
Matchmaking Platform (JITMAP)(IGES-TERI efforts to promote environmental technologies& better operational practices in India)

Japan-India Technology Matchmaking Platform (JITMAP)◼ In order to promote low-carbon technology (LCT) transfer and diffusion in India, IGES andTERI jointly launched the Japan-India Technology Matchmaking Platform (JITMAP) in July
2016 with the support of the Ministry of the Environment of Japan.
◼ JITMAP is a multi-stakeholder platform to match Japanese manufacturers of EnvironmentalTechnologies (ETs) including LCTs with Indian companies that are looking for suchtechnologies.

Examples of outcomes of JITMAP activities【Example 1】

Electric heat pump (EHP) & Refrigeration System (RS)(In cooperation with Mayekawa Mfg. Co., Ltd.)・Date: December 2018 ・Location: Andhra Pradesh・Activities:
1) Feasibility Studies at 10 seafood processing companies.
2) Consultative meetings on results of the FS with Andhra
Pradesh State Energy Conservation Mission (APSECM) andAndhra Pradesh State Energy Efficiency Development Corporation (APSEEDCO).
3) Awareness raising workshops for 7 seafood processing companies.

・Outcomes:
1) Energy-saving potentials by adopting the target technologies were identified in mostcompanies, while Awareness of the APSECM, the APSEEDCO and those companies on thetechnologies was raised.
2) Awareness of the APSECM and the APSEEDCO on necessity of regulatory measures topromote energy efficient and environmentally safer RS, was also raised.
5Examples of outcomes of JITMAP activities【Example 2】 Energy-saving transmission belt (EETB)(In cooperation with Bando Chemical Industries, Ltd.)・ Period: August-September 2018 ・Location: Ankleshwar, Gujarat
・Target industries: Pharmaceutical, glass and comprehensive chemical・Activities:
1) Introductory seminar on the EETB for the Ankelshwar Industries
Association.
2) FSs at selected companies which had interests in application of the EETB.

・Outcomes:
1) Awareness of about 110 local stakeholders on the EETB was raised, and 5 local companies
adopted the EETB.
2) Energy-saving potentials of about 5 to 15% were identified, while it was also found that much ofthe equipment used at these companies is up to European standards, Therefore, the company
proposed to replace both the belt and pulley in such a case, and two companies adopted it.
3) As a result of a follow-up survey in FY2020, it was confirmed the EETBs were introduced in6
6 local SMEs and 5 large enterprises.

Examples of outcomes of JITMAP activities【Example 3】 Awareness Workshops (Webinar) on Japanese Environmental Technology(In cooperation with Japan Environmental Technology Association (JETA))・ Date: Dec. 9, 2021
・Objectives:1) Sharing experiences of India, Japan, and other countries on air pollution.
2) Exchanging views on Japan-India cooperation to overcome air
pollution in India.
・Participants: About 100 participants including CPCB, SPCBs in Gujarat &Maharashtra, International Organizations, Japanese local governments,
private companies in India & Japan, universities and research institutes, etc.
・Outcomes: Awareness of the participants on Japanese technology to monitor emissions from energy
intensive industries and importance of the accurate measurement and evaluation wasraised.
・Way forward: Implementation of a Needs Assessment on the National Clean Air Programme in India& a Seminar on Progress and Challenges of the NCAP in 2023.
7Lessons learned and Way forward of JITMAP activities
Lessons learned
Way forward
1. Necessity of JITMAP activities to enhance
the understanding of various Indian
stakeholders, especially SMEs on Japanese
Low Carbon and Environmental Technologies.

Continuous implementation of JITMAP
activities especially for SMEs in cooperation
with the Japanese & Indian stakeholders
including the MOEJ, the Embassy of Japan inIndia and private companies.

2. Necessity of strengthening the organization 2-1. Expansion of target technologies
and activities of the JITMAP.
including environmental technologies andcollaborations with Japan Platform for
Redesign: Sustainable Infrastructure (JPRSI),
the Blue Sky Initiatives, Japan Environmental
Technology Association (JETA), The Energy
Conservation Center, Japan (ECCJ), etc.
