Abstract
Indian petroleum industry is one of the major
industrial sectors of India. India has 20 refineries — 17 in the
public sector and three in the private sector. Indian petroleum
industries utilize very complex systems, comprising of
equipment and their human interface, which are engineered
to fulfill the production needs of the business.With profit and
productivity being the main motive ,it suggests new and
strategic steps towards the implementation of truly effective
energy efficiency improving steps that are consistent with the
accepted standard principles of measurement, documentation,
which can enforce continuous improvement in the energy
scenario of Indian petroleum industry. Energy management
standards put forward an executable policy mechanism for
encouraging energy efficiency in petroleum industrial
facilities. This paper showcases the current scenario of energy
management in Indian petroleum industry , including an
analysis of their shared features and differences, in terms of
content, promulgation, and effectuation. Efficacious and
sustainable energy efficiency programs dealt with in the paper
for the petroleum industrial arrangement necessitates a
systems approach to optimize the integrated whole while
matching basal business requirements.This paper addresses
energy as a manageable resource, discusses how the energy
programs could be incorporated and integrated into
management practices of the Indian petroleum sector, thus
having an organizational context to continually seek
opportunities for optimizing their energy use.
