Energy availability and its cost play a significant role in the profitability of any industry. With energy cost escalating day by day and its availability becoming more and more scarce, there is an urgent need for the textile industry to manage energy by ensuring its effective usage and conservation.

The share of energy cost in the total manufacturing cost in spinning mills works out to around 14% per unit of production. SITRA studies have shown that there is a wide variation in UKG among mills.

Energy audits conducted by SITRA have revealed that there is ample scope for conserving energy in spinning mills in many areas namely electrical equipment, distribution systems, humidification plants, compressors, etc. through proper selection and their maintenance.

Keeping the above aspects in mind, a programme is being organised covering key aspects relating to energy consumption in different equipment and its management.
