Evaluating Market Response to the Appliance Standards and Labelling Programme

This study was carried out with support from the Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation (SSEF). The key focus of this study was to evaluate the market response to BEE’s S&L programme for appliances and equipment. The study aimed to assess market penetration of S&L products, identify existing gaps in the programme and to put forward recommendations for promoting BEE’s S&L programme.
The long term goal of this study was to assist policymakers in identifying strategies for maximizing the benefits from the S&L programme. The recommendations aimed to improve the overall Energy Efficiency standards framework to increase the adoption of energy-efficient appliances and equipment, while continuously improving energy efficiency standards and striving for newer, more energy-efficient technologies.
