Launch of Agricultural DSM

The first pilot Ag-DSM project was successfully launched on 1st of February, 2009 by Shri Sushilkumar Shinde, Hon’ble Union Minister of Power at Mangalvedha Subdivision in Solapur District of Maharashtra. It had good participation from farmers as well as from senior officers from MSEDCL, Govt. of Maharashtra.

Shri Sushilkumar Shinde inaugured the BEE star labelled energy efficient pump on the same day. The new BEE energy efficient pump has been installed so that farmers can witness the working of energy efficiency pump. 

India plans to set up energy efficiency targets for over 700 industries that account for more than 40 per cent of the country's fossil fuel use by the end of next year, reports quoted the head of Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) Ajay Mathur as saying.
