There are 168 energy-intensive textile units notified in the Perform, Achieve, Trade (PAT) scheme under National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency having an annual threshold level of energy consumption of more or equal to 3000 Tonnes of Oil equivalent.
And this has resulted in the saving of 0.313 Million Toe (1 toe = 11.6 MWh) in energy savings consequently reducing 1.551 million tonnes of CO2 in the sector.
In order to reduce the emission and energy intensity in the textile sector, National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency, Ministry of Power has Perform, Achieve, Trade (PAT) scheme.
Another scheme supporting sustainability, National Solar Mission (NSM) was also launched on 11th January, 2010 with the objective to promote ecologically sustainable growth while addressing India’s energy security challenges.
The Mission targets achieving 100GW of installed solar power capacity by 2022.
Sharing this information, Darshana Jardosh, Union Minister of State for Textiles informed in Lok Sabha also informed that Under Amended Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (ATUFS) of Ministry of Textiles, a total of 1,622 textile units, have applied for one-time capital investment subsidy for installation of benchmark machinery under processing segment including boilers (Steam/thermic fluid) with automatic control on combustion efficiency, O2 monitoring equipment and with electrostatics precipitator and micro-dust collector and Heat recovery system etc.
It covers project cost of Rs. 6,602.54 crore and provisional subsidy value of Rs. 445.28 crore in different segments of textile sectors.
