## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF  HEAVY INDUSTRIES AND PUBLIC ENTERPRISES (SHRI BABUL SUPRIYO)

- (a) & (b): The role of Department of Heavy Industry (DHI) is confined to the administration of Central  Public  Sector  Enterprises  (CPSEs)  under  its  administrative  control  and  therefore,  any centralize data regarding high energy consuming industries is not maintained in DHI. However, Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) under the Ministry of Power have informed that they have identified  621  high  energy  consuming  industries  in  11  sectors  under  the  National  Mission  for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE). The state wise details of these industries are at Annexure.
- (c): BEE have informed that they have put norms to restrict the consumption of energy by high energy consuming industries as they have given the specific energy consumption reduction targets to 621 industries under phase-II vide notification number S.O. 1264( E) dated 31 st March 2016.
- (d) & (e): BEE have informed that all 478 industries under the phase (2012-13 to 2014-15) have followed the norms for energy consumption. They had been given a target of 6.686 Million Tons of Oil Equivalent (MTOE) against which they have achieved 8.867 MTOE.
- (f): BEE have developed robust monitoring and verification process to ensure that the mandatory reduction in energy consumption is followed by the industries. High energy consuming industries are subjected to monitoring and verification audit of their plant as per the prescribed methodology and  formats  by  a  third  party  auditing  agency  and  if  the  industry  does  not  meet  the  prescribed norms, then they attract penalty under the penal provisions of Energy Conservation Act 2001.
