Power Ministry Launches ₹1,000‑Cr ADEETIE Scheme to Boost Energy Efficiency in MSMEs

Panipat, Haryana, July 15, 2025 — Marking a significant leap in India’s transition towards a low-carbon economy, Union Minister for Power and Housing & Urban Affairs, Shri Manohar Lal, officially launched the Assistance in Deploying Energy Efficient Technologies in Industries & Establishments (ADEETIE) scheme at Arya (P.G.) College, Panipat. With a total outlay of ₹1000 crore, the scheme is a flagship effort by the Ministry of Power, implemented through the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), to accelerate the adoption of energy-efficient technologies across India’s Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).

Designed to provide comprehensive technical and financial support, ADEETIE offers interest subvention of 5% for Micro and Small Enterprises and 3% for Medium Enterprises for loans aimed at energy efficiency (EE) upgrades. It also includes Investment Grade Energy Audits (IGEA), Detailed Project Reports (DPRs), Monitoring & Verification (M&V), and capacity-building support. The ADEETIE portal (adeetie.beeindia.gov.in) was also launched to streamline application and financing processes.

Speaking at the launch, Shri Manohar Lal emphasized the scheme’s alignment with the Viksit Bharat vision and the need to empower MSMEs with tools to become globally competitive. He highlighted that technologies supported under ADEETIE can help MSMEs reduce energy use by 30–50%, improve the power-to-product ratio, and contribute to building green energy corridors.

Shri Pankaj Agarwal, Secretary, Ministry of Power, stressed the role of BEE in mainstreaming energy efficiency projects and announced that 14 sectors and 60 industrial clusters will be covered in the first phase. He underlined the importance of a supportive financing ecosystem to drive MSME participation.

Shri A.K. Singh, Additional Chief Secretary (Energy), Government of Haryana, called upon MSMEs to transition away from fossil fuels, especially coal-based power, while Shri Akash Tripathi, Additional Secretary & DG, BEE, detailed the scheme’s budget allocation: ₹875 crore for interest subvention, ₹50 crore for energy audits, and ₹75 crore for implementation support. He also noted that the scheme is expected to mobilize ₹9000 crore in investments, including ₹6750 crore in loans from participating MSMEs.

The launch event also saw MoU signings with key industry associations, distribution of appreciation certificates to MSMEs involved in the pilot phase, and testimonials from entrepreneurs who had already benefitted through early adoption of clean technologies.

With strong institutional backing and an inclusive design, ADEETIE is positioned as a transformative initiative to boost industrial competitiveness, meet India’s climate commitments, and make the MSME sector a frontrunner in sustainable growth.
