Globally, Industrial sector is known to be the largest electricity consumer, 70% of which is contributed by electric motor systems alone. In India, about 40% of the total electricity consumption is contributed by the industrial sector. Electric motor-systems use 28% of total national electricity which is reasonably high.
Historically, the motors sold (and used by end-users) in India have lower energy efficiencies (IE-1 or less) than the efficient products technologically available and manufactured. Based on estimation, 90- 95% of the current installed stock of motors is at IE1 & sub-IE1 levels. The issue of multiple rewinding in the service life of motor(s) further reduces the efficiency drastically. This results in more energy consumption, hence affects the competitiveness of any business entity.
Further, Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (DIPP) has issued a Quality Control order requiring all imported and domestically manufactured motors to conform minimum IE2 class of efficiency as per the revised IS:12615 with effect from 01.01.2018. It is a great opportunity for the motor users to leap frog to the readily available even higher technology like IE3 class of motors.
The National Motor Replacement Program (NMRP) is a first-of-its-kind, nationwide initiative aimed at enhancing industrial energy efficiency. EESL seeks to establish an enabling infrastructure to accelerate the adoption of high-efficiency IE3 & IE4 motors through an innovative financing model and targeted awareness campaigns. Under this program, IE3 & IE4 motors ranging from 1 HP to 100 HP are being offered to Indian industries. The initiative is designed to benefit both MSME and non-MSME sectors alike.
