Trends in energy intensity indicators increasingly serve not just as a monitoring tool, but as a basis for energy efficiency policies and regulations aimed at achieving greater energy conservation. Consequently, many believe that measuring changes in energy intensity can provide both international and national policy-makers with the information needed to design appropriate policies to improve energy efficiencies and also design greenhouse gas mitigation strategies.
The results of the study show that Indian industries have become more energy efficient over the years especially post 1992–93, which also coincides with the liberalisation policy turnaround of the government.
