The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), under the Ministry of Power, released the State Energy Efficiency Index (SEEI) 2024, developed in association with the Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy (AEEE). The index assesses the energy efficiency performance of 36 States and Union Territories (UTs) for FY 2023-24, using a framework of 66 indicators across sectors including Buildings, Industry, Municipal Services, Transport, Agriculture, DISCOMs, and Cross-Sector initiatives. States are classified into four performance categories: Front Runners (≥60), Achievers (50-60), Contenders (30-50), and Aspirants (<30). Top performers include Maharashtra (Group 1: >15 MToE), Andhra Pradesh (Group 2: 5-15 MToE), Assam (Group 3: 1-5 MToE), and Tripura (Group 4: <1 MToE). Key sectoral progress includes 24 states notifying ECBC 2017, 10 states with MSME energy efficiency policies, 31 states adopting electric mobility policies, and 13 states promoting solar powered agricultural pumps. All 36 States/UTs have developed State Energy Efficiency Action Plans (SEEAPs), and 31 have formed State-Level Steering Committees on Energy Transition. Shri Akash Tripathi, IAS, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Power and Director General, BEE, emphasized the role of energy efficiency in achieving India's net-zero by 2070 vision during the release. The SEEI 2024 serves as a tool for guiding state-level actions and accelerating India’s energy efficiency and climate goals.

Shri Akash Tripathi, IAS, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Power and Director General, Bureau of Energy
Efficiency (BEE), released the State Energy Efficiency Index (SEEI) 2024, developed by BEE in
association with the Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy (AEEE). The index assesses the energy
efficiency performance of 36 States and Union Territories (UTs) for FY 2023-24, supporting data-driven
monitoring, best practice sharing, and healthy competition among states.
Speaking at the launch, Shri Tripathi emphasized that energy efficiency is a key driver of India’s net-zero
by 2070 vision, offering cost-effective solutions across sectors. The sixth edition features a new
implementation-focused framework with 66 indicators covering Buildings, Industry, Municipal
Services, Transport, Agriculture, DISCOMs, and Cross-Sector initiatives, reflecting evolving priorities
like EV policies, star-rated buildings, and DSM strategies.
States are classified into four performance categories: Front Runners (>60%), Achievers (50-60%),
Contenders (30-50%), and Aspirants (<30%). The top performers include:
· Maharashtra (Group 1: >15 MToE)
· Andhra Pradesh (Group 2: 5–15 MToE)
· Assam (Group 3: 1–5 MToE)
· Tripura (Group 4: <1 MToE)
The report highlights sectoral progress: 24 states have notified ECBC 2017; 10 states have MSME energy
efficiency policies; 31 states have adopted electric mobility policies; and 13 states are promoting solar-
powered agricultural pumps, with Kerala achieving 74% adoption. Additionally, all 36 States/UTs have
developed State Energy Efficiency Action Plans (SEEAPs), and 31 have formed State-Level Steering
Committees on Energy Transition.
SEEI 2024 serves as a key policy tool for guiding state-level actions and accelerating India’s energy
efficiency and climate goals.
