SMALL INDUSTRIES DEVELOPMENT BANK OF INDIA (SIDBI)
in association with
BUREAU OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY
MINISTRY OF POWER, GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
THE WORLD BANK (WB)
&

Presents
End-to-End Energy Efficiency (4E) Financing Scheme for MSMEs to increase
demand for energy efficiency investments in the Micro, Small and Medium enterprises and
to build their capacity to access commercial finance.
Let us look at one of the MSME unit covered under 4E Financing Scheme by

Process description
Kudu Production In-charge or Director:

The unit is involved in the manufacturing of Knitted Yarn, Dyed Yarn, customised
clothing.
Due to product mix industry, there are number of different processes adopted for
processing, dying & knitting of the variety of products.
Different Processes in this industry requires huge quantity of steam as an indirect
heating media.
Grid power is being used in operation of electric machines and
Diesel is being used in DG sets in case of unavailability of Grid power.

Energy Profile
Technical Expert: ISTSL

Around 50% of energy cost in this unit is due to energy consumption by one 5 Tonne
pet coke based steam boiler, one no. pet coke based Thermopac with 15 lakh kCal/hr
heat generation capacity and Two Air Compressors of 192 CFM & 126 CFM capacities.

Thus, any possibility of energy savings in these equipments promises a significant

reduction in overall energy cost for the plant.

Remaining 50% energy cost is divided into other equipments like motors, various
process machines, pumps, cooling towers, DG sets, etc.

Narration:

In past several years, It has been seen that the overall System Inefficiencies adversely
affect the profit margin and long term sustainability of the MSME industry.

Simple and cost effective measures to control the share of energy cost in overall
production cost are very much needed at the present time to stay competitive and
survive in the long run.

Technical Expert: ISTSL

Fuel and electricity is a large share of production cost in Textile Processing industries.

We conducted energy audits to analyse energy performance of existing process

machines and utilities to identify suitable cost cutting measures and ways to improve
the overall plant energy performance.

Our measurement and calculations revealed that there exists potential to save almost
421 tonnes of oil equivalent which is around 16% of total energy consumption

But apart from this, such kind of interventions are replicable across the cluster in
similar MSME units,

Good EE Investment potential for Banks,

Challenges faced during energy audit

Technical Expert: ISTSL

We faced lot of problems to find out suitable measurement points on Boiler for stack
analysis
There were no historical records available like motor rewinding status, rated capacity
of older machines etc.
There were no proper monitoring systems were available on various equipments like
Boiler, Thermopac, etc.

Barriers in Identification and Implementation of EE Measures

Question by ISTSL: Have you faced any kind of difficulty in implementation of

suggested EE Measures?
Ans. by Kudu Director:

Question by ISTSL: Have you ever tried to resolve the issues with regard to reduce
energy consumption or to improve efficiency of your systems?
Ans. by Kudu Director:

Question ISTSL: You have paid around 1 lakh of energy audit fee, what do you say
about its worthiness?

Ans. by Kudu Director:

Kudu Director - Interview

Increasing energy wastages were eating our profit margins on a regular basis.

Our need for a solution to reduce fuel cost was becoming urgent by the day.

We are regular customer of SIDBI for a long time and contacted SIDBI to upgrade our
technology and improve our bottom line.

Then, we came to know about 4E financing scheme through SIDBI Ludhiana Branch.

This 4E scheme was fulfilling my requirement in manifolds like providing suitable

energy savings measures in our existing operation, covering my requirement for
Technology upgradation and providing technical inputs & suggestions to maintain
energy consumption in energy intensive machines & equipments in future.

Under the scheme, one prime condition was to get energy audit done at our unit
through experienced energy auditor.

Then we decided to take loan under this scheme.

Normally MSME dont know how to select a good experienced energy auditor which
suits to their industry and also dont have any benchmark to fix a technical fee and
scope of work.

We asked from SIDBI to recommend us and they suggested to contact ISTSL to get
energy audit done at our plant.

ISTSL experts showed us the way to improve efficiency of our equipments & to make
industry more energy efficient.

Initially, we discussed the feasibility and investment issues with them. But now, we
are happy to see our equipments running efficiently.

Another relief to us is to get finance from SIDBI for our vision of technology
enhancement and Energy Efficiency retrofit projects identified by ISTSL for which
normally banks dont give any loan.

Our factory now looks cleaner and better with the decision to go for energy audit of
our both plants and take financing under 4E Financing Scheme by SIDBI.

We will recommend to other industries to avail the benefits of 4E scheme of SIDBI to

make their industries more profitable.

We Invested around 1 Crore which is paid back from the monetary value of energy
savings within duration of 20 months. We reduced our energy consumption by 16%
and contributed to Green Environment.

Apart from our personal interest, We would also like to request other industries to
contribute their counterpart so that we all can make our future sustainable.

Process description
Production In-charge or Director:

We engaged into manufacturing of Corrugated & Offset Corrugated Packaging Boxes.

Energy Profile
Technical Expert: ISTSL

We conducted energy audits in this unit to analyse energy performance of existing

process machines and utilities to identify suitable cost cutting measures and ways to
improve overall plant energy performance.

Our audit revealed that this unit can save around 163 tonnes of oil equivalent which is
more than 18% of total energy consumption.

Barriers in Identification and Implementation of EE Measures

Question by ISTSL: Have you faced any kind of difficulty in implementation of

suggested EE Measures?
Ans. by Nahar Director:

Question by ISTSL: Have you ever tried to resolve the issues with regard to reduce
energy consumption or to improve efficiency of your systems?
Ans. by Nahar Director:

Question ISTSL: You have paid around 30 thousand for energy audit fee, what do
you say about its worthiness?
Ans. by Nahar Director:

Nahar Director - Interview

In order to make Technology Up-gradation and Modernisation, We always focused on

enhancing energy efficiency levels of our unit by adopting latest technologies and also
concentrating on utilisation of renewable energy, wherever feasible.

Towards this objective, we approached SIDBI Chandigarh Branch and came to know
about 4E financing scheme. This scheme was giving us full support and providing us a
platform to achieve our targets. Hence, we decided to take loan under this scheme.

As energy audit was mandatory in this scheme, SIDBI suggested us to contact ISTSL
team for conducting energy audit at our plant.

ISTSL energy auditors did energy audit and shown us various energy savings
measures.

We discussed the technical aspects of all the measures with their team and got
benefited and now we are happy with more energy efficient plant.

Another Good thing was to get loan from SIDBI for Energy saving projects and solar
RoofTop power plant and meeting our requirement

We think that the decision to go for 4E Financing Scheme makes our factory green,
clean and lean.

We will highly recommend to other industries to get the benefits of this scheme.

We Invested around 1.50 Crore and will get pay back in only 28 months. We reduced
our energy consumption by 18%. Our decision is also helping to our nature.
