Ongoing Projects
Consultancy on activities to strengthen and implement activities related to energy efficiency and cooling
June 1, 2020
| Environment
The main objectives of this project are to strengthen and implement activities related to energy efficiency and cooling particularly in the following areas of work: (1) Developing Kigali implementation scenarios; (2) Advancing efficiency and low-GWP standards as part of the update of the AC standards.
Impact evaluation of Pashu Bhagya Scheme (2015-16 to 2018-19) on livelihood security of marginal and small farmers, agricultural labourers, widows, devadasis and distressed women
June 1, 2020
The main purpose of the assignment would be: (1) Assessment of farmers eligibility to access encouraging opportunities and avail benefits of the scheme in terms of increasing the farmers’ income, employment, skills and its penetration across cow/buffalo, goat/sheep, piggery and poultry sectors with fulfillment of aim/objectives, as well as its efficacy and efficiency.

SED Grant to support the development of high renewable energy power systems in two major states of India
June 1, 2020
The main objective of this project is to overcome the lack of detailed planning for high renewables systems in at least two key states over the course of the project by developing demand, supply, grid integration and infrastructure analysis for two states. The overall objective is to support a policy and market environment that allows India to achieve around 450 GW of RE by 2030, or a share of zero carbon electricity above 45%.
Microbial indicators of anthropogenic stress in the mangrove ecosystems of Goa
May 28, 2020
| Environment
Studies of microbial community responses to heavy metal pollution and remediation of real-world multi-metal sites has rarely been done. It is important to understand how microorganisms are affected by heavy metal pollution. Microbes control most biogeochemical processes and ecosystem productivity and hence important to study the relationship between the stress due to metals and their diversity.
Hiring of firms for carrying out energy and resource mapping of MSME clusters in India (chemical)
May 22, 2020
| Energy Efficiency
The study focuses on mapping of MSME sub-sectors - 'Chemical' from energy perspective. It involves an in-depth study of existing energy consumption scenario and identification of opportunities for energy/resource saving. The study results will be used for knowledge dissemination and development of a roadmap to make Chemical MSME sub-sectors in the country energy- as well as resource-efficient, and environment-friendly.
National assessment on plastic waste management in Indian cities
May 20, 2020
| Waste
The assignment’s objectives are to: i) Conduct a comprehensive, empirical data-based analytical assessment of the mismanaged plastic waste problem, as part of municipal solid waste, in Indian cities; ii) Review of existing national level policies and regulations across the plastics value chain-starting from manufacturing, plastic waste generation, recycling/treatment and quantum of mismanaged plastics that ends up in dumpsites or as part of marine litter, in India; and
Development of technologies for measuring and maintaining ecosystem services from forests
May 8, 2020
| Forest & Biodiversity
The project is aimed at development of technologies for measuring and maintaining ecosystem services from forests. In view of paucity of such studies, economic valuation of forest ecosystem services will be useful. The main objectives of the study are to: (i) estimate the use and non-use values of ecosystem services provided by the wildlife sanctuary; and (ii) identify the measures for maintaining and enhancing the ecosystem services.
Strategic Partnerships for the Implementation of the Paris Agreement (SPIPA)
May 6, 2020
The primary aim of the project promoted by the grant is to support EU-India collaboration on the development of modelling capacities to improve the quality of modelling tools, and integrated modelling analysis frameworks in India. This overall objective is defined by the following benchmarks: Improving the knowledge of how climate modelling action in India relates to global and subnational low carbon development pathways, as well as to selected co-benefits of trade-offs of climate policy.
