The 13 selected industrial units belong to automotive and foundry sector.

The sources said after months of work, they introduced Japanese energy conservation tools and methodologies and management practices.

These methods enabled the engineers to save a considerable chunk of energy. To enhance the methodology and to efficiently run the system, JICA energy experts suggested implementation of improvement plans.

JICA energy experts have previously worked in both the fields of electrical and mechanical. The sources said currently, 866,000 KWh have been saved so far on an annual basis. The companies experts worked out the potential number of 1,352,727 KWh in energy savings that can be availed through this project.
