About the Portal
The industrial sector is one of the major consumers of energy in India and hence, the best candidates on which to focus energy efficiency efforts. While a number of research and development activities are carried out to promote energy efficiency in industries, there is lack of collection and dissemination of this information. TERI with support from TIFP (Technology Information Facilitation Programme) of the DSIR (Department of Scientific and Industrial Research) , Government of India, initiated a project called ‘Energy Information Support Services for Indian Industries’. The objective of this project is to collect, collate, and disseminate energy-efficient technologies information for the Sugar, Pulp and paper, and Fertilizer sectors.  This website is an effort towards fulfilling the objectives of this project.
About DSIR
The DSIR  is a part of the Ministry of Science and Technology, GOI. DSIR has a mandate to carry out the activities relating to indigenous technology promotion, development, utilization and transfer. The primary endeavour of DSIR is to promote R&D by the industries, support a larger cross section of small and medium industrial units to develop state-of-the art globally competitive technologies of high commercial potential, catalyze faster commercialization of lab-scale R&D, enhance the share of technology intensive exports in overall exports, strengthen industrial consultancy & technology management capabilities and establish user friendly information network to facilitate scientific and industrial research in the country. It also provides a link between scientific laboratories and industrial establishments for transfer of technologies through National  Research Development Corporation (NRDC) and facilitates investment in R&D through Central Electronics Limited (CEL).
About TERI
A dynamic and flexible organisation with a global vision and a local focus, TERI  was established in 1974. While in the initial period the focus was mainly on documentation and information dissemination activities, research activities in the field of energy, environment and sustainable development were initiated towards the end of 1982. The goal is to achieve sustainable use of natural resources, large-scale adoption of appropriate technologies and reduction of waste. TERI has been working closely with the industrial sector in promoting energy efficient and environment friendly technologies to improve efficiency and reduce pollution. The strategy includes developing and demonstrating technological packages suitable for industry, providing technical support to ensure their widespread adoption and training and information dissemination.
