India’s healthcare sector is among the largest and most energy-intensive industries, consuming approximately 9.7 TWh annually—accounting for 9% of the country’s commercial electricity consumption. This results in 7.7 million tons of Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions every year (National Centre for Disease Control, 2023).
With rising energy costs and increasing sustainability expectations, healthcare facilities—whether public, private, or charitable—must adopt innovative strategies to control expenses and align with India’s climate goals. From rural sub-centres to advanced multi-specialty hospitals, all healthcare institutions face unique challenges and opportunities in transitioning towards net-zero energy.
Why This Matters
- Rising Costs: Healthcare administrators struggle with escalating energy bills, impacting operating budgets.
- Patient Care & Efficiency: Balancing energy consumption while ensuring patient safety, comfort, and service quality is critical.
- Sustainability & Compliance: Growing awareness and regulatory pressures demand energy-efficient, low-carbon healthcare buildings.
