Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh top State Energy Efficiency Index FY24

Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh have emerged as the top-performing states in the State Energy Efficiency Index 2024 (FY24), with overall scores of 80.5% and 79.3%, respectively. They were followed by Karnataka, Telangana and Tamil Nadu, according to a report released by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) under the power ministry.

To align with global commitments, including those made at COP28 and the G20's energy efficiency goals, India had introduced the State Energy Efficiency Action Plan. The plan emphasises the implementation of localised energy efficiency measures and highlights the need for close coordination between the Centre and the states.

Five states demonstrated what the report described as "remarkable" progress, improving their scores by more than 10 points. These include Odisha, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan.


As in previous years, states and union territories were classified into four groups based on their total final energy consumption. Maharashtra topped Group 1, Andhra Pradesh led Group 2, Assam ranked highest in Group 3, while Tripura took the lead in Group 4. Compared with seven states in the preceding financial year, five states - Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Telangana - featured in the 'front runner' category this year. This category covers states with an index score above 60%.
