Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are an integral part of the Indian economy, contributing 33 per cent of India’s GDP and approximately 40 per cent of exports. Compared to large-scale industries, the vulnerability of MSMEs to increasing energy prices is significantly higher, leading to substantial per-unit energy costs. Energy-intensive industries like brick manufacturing, foundries, glass, ceramics, and textile dyeing incur disproportionately high energy costs, presenting a significant opportunity for savings.
Additionally, the immediate benefits of energy efficiency have become even more critical in the wake of the global COVID-19 crisis and its economic impact. With a comprehensive range of energy-efficiency products, solutions, and services, Secure is committed to enhancing the performance of the MSME sector, making it energy-efficient, competitive, and self-sustainable in alignment with the mission of Atmanirbhar Bharat.
Secure’s energy management solution, eWatch Online, provides real-time data on load-specific energy parameters, enabling users to monitor trends, initiate corrective actions, and effectively reduce costs and carbon footprints.
Benefits for the enterprise
Censeo, the world’s first integrated pump performance and condition monitoring platform developed by Secure, applies thermodynamic principles to provide accurate data on pump performance and operational conditions.
This system helps manage operational costs, improve plant efficiency, and maintain asset reliability. As a BEE-certified Grade 2 organisation, Secure offers comprehensive energy efficiency services for pump monitoring based on the ESCO model. In a notable ESCO project with the Indore Municipal Corporation, Secure enabled nearly ₹170 million savings over 6.5 years.
Air conditioning is another significant area of energy consumption in MSMEs. Excessive cooling leads to both financial and environmental costs. It is projected that global warming will triple AC energy demand by 2050.
We have developed an advanced cooling control solution, Beanbag Cool, that can be seamlessly integrated into existing cooling systems. It is designed for easy installation in DX-type and FCU-based AC systems and provides both local and remote control, eliminating cooling wastage without compromising comfort.
While policy guidelines are available, MSMEs must implement energy efficiency measures by adopting and investing in the right technologies to foster a more sustainable and energy-efficient economy.
