Context
 The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) released the State Energy Efficiency Index (SEEI) 2024 on 29 August 2025, assessing the progress of energy efficiency initiatives across Indian states and Union Territories.

About State Energy Efficiency Index (SEEI)

Definition:
 A composite measure to track, compare, and rank the energy efficiency performance of Indian states and UTs.

Developed by:
 BEE in collaboration with the Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy (AEEE).

First Launch: 2018; SEEI 2024 is the sixth edition.

Purpose:

• Enable data-driven monitoring of energy efficiency progress.
   
• Promote healthy competition and innovation among states.
   
• Support India’s vision of net-zero emissions by 2070.
   

Key Findings of SEEI 2024

• Coverage: 36 states/UTs assessed for FY 2023–24 using 66 indicators.
   
• Sectors Covered: Buildings, Industry, Transport, Agriculture, DISCOMs, Municipal Services, Cross-sector initiatives.
   

Performance Categories:

• Front Runners: >60%
   
• Achievers: 50–60%
   
• Contenders: 30–50%
   
• Aspirants: <30%
   

Top State Performers by Energy Consumption Group:

• >15 MToE: Maharashtra
   
• 5–15 MToE: Andhra Pradesh
   
• 1–5 MToE: Assam
   
• <1 MToE: Tripura
   

Sectoral Highlights:

• 24 states notified the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) 2017.
   
• 31 states implemented electric mobility policies.
   
• 13 states promoted solar agricultural pumps, with Kerala achieving 74% adoption.
   
• All 36 states/UTs prepared State Energy Efficiency Action Plans (SEEAPs).
   

Conclusion:
 The SEEI 2024 highlights state-level progress in energy efficiency, encouraging innovation, accountability, and competition. It provides a roadmap for states to enhance sustainable energy use, contributing directly to India’s climate targets and long-term net-zero goals.
