Cement – Analysis
Between 2011 and 2015, 85 cement plants in India participated in the first cycle of PAT, a marketbased mechanism to improve energy efficiency. They achieved energy demand reductions equivalent to 9% of India's 2014 cement sector energy consumption. The second cycle, which ended in 2019, covered 111 cement plants and aimed for 4‑5 % lower energy use; official results of the cycle are pending.
