As India advances its climate ambitions, including the target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070, industrial decarbonisation and energy efficiency have become key priorities for enabling a sustainable and inclusive transition. In this context, the Indo-German bilateral cooperation between the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), implemented by GIZ, supports industrial decarbonisation through energy efficiency measures. Acting as a service provider and implementing agency for German international cooperation for sustainable development, GIZ works with Indian and German partners on project implementation and delivering effective solutions that contribute to sustainable transformation. The cooperation between the German side and BEE builds on a long-standing partnership in the field of energy efficiency and industrial transformation. Over the years, the collaboration has continuously supported the implementation of the Energy Conservation Act and contributed to a range of initiatives targeting both large industries and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). While significant progress has been achieved, considerable untapped potential for industrial energy efficiency and decarbonisation remains, underlining the need for strengthened policy frameworks, innovative market instruments, and scaled implementation approaches. Against this background, the project "Energy Efficiency" supports industrial decarbonisation through four key intervention areas: (a) developing strategies for industrial decarbonisation, including in the context of the Indian Carbon Market; (b) supporting the design and implementation of incentive schemes such as ADEETIE; (c) promoting industrial energy efficiency measures through demonstration projects and awareness campaigns; and (d) advancing gender equality and social inclusion in the industrial transition. Through these interventions, the project aims to strengthen policy frameworks, market mechanisms, institutional capacities, and inclusive approaches for a sustainable industrial transformation.
