Energy Audit and AI Monitoring for Gujarat MSMEs
An energy audit in India, for Gujarat MSMEs, with monitoring on the meters you already have. We work with certified energy auditors. The scheme figures below are assistance rates, not a saving we promise your plant.
Subject to the official Government of Gujarat scheme order and eligibility; verify with the District Industries Centre.

Figures and the operative window 01.06.2026 to 31.05.2031 are from the MSME Government Resolution dated 25.09.2026, as summarised in the VGIP 2026 incentive guide (opens in a new tab).
What VGIP 2026 Covers
The figures below are assistance rates and caps from the MSME Government Resolution dated 25.09.2026, as summarised in the VGIP 2026 incentive guide (opens in a new tab). They are not Ellvero’s fees, and they are not a saving your plant has already achieved.
Energy or water audit
75% up to Rs 50,000
Assistance on the cost of an energy or water audit, within the cap in the MSME resolution.
Recommended energy-saving equipment
25% up to Rs 20 lakh
When the audit shows at least 10% saving. The 10% is a scheme condition, not a result we promise.
Industry 4.0, ICT and AI equipment
65% up to Rs 5 lakh
Monitoring and related equipment, within the cap in the MSME resolution.
ERP systems
65% up to Rs 1 lakh
Assistance on an ERP system, within the cap in the same resolution.

Our Audit and AI Approach
The energy audit process has two roles. A certified energy auditor visits, measures and signs the report. We put AI monitoring on the same meters so the plant can see the load after the visit. See Energy and Utilities for the wider practice.
A certified energy auditor
We work with certified energy auditors. Ellvero is not an accredited or empanelled energy auditor, and the report is the auditor’s.
Meters before new points
The baseline uses utility meters, SCADA and feeder data. A sensor partner is only for a load the audit cannot otherwise measure.
AI monitoring after the visit
Monitoring keeps the same feeders live so a recommendation can be checked, not only written.
Ahmedabad and other districts
Factories looking for an energy auditor in Ahmedabad start with the eligibility conversation. The auditor covers the district the plant sits in.
Proving the 10% Savings
Measurement and verification is a before-and-after on an agreed meter, with production in the note. Factory energy monitoring is that ongoing view. It does not replace the auditor’s report.
A baseline period
The audit records how the load ran before the change: shifts, production, and the meter that will be used again later.
The same meter afterwards
The saving is the difference on that meter, with production held in view so a quieter order book is not called a saving.
The 10% condition
Equipment assistance in this scheme summary needs the audit to show at least 10% saving. We measure toward that test. We do not assure the plant will clear it.
What did not count
The note says which loads were out of scope. An energy audit in India is only as useful as that boundary.
Documents for the Subsidy Claim
The claim goes through the District Industries Centre. The list below is the pack we help prepare. The DIC’s own checklist is the one that counts, and it can change.
The audit report
Prepared by the certified energy auditor, with the baseline and the measures.
Quotations
For the equipment the claim covers, matched to the measures in the report.
Measurement note
The meters and the period used to support the saving figure.
DIC checklist
The District Industries Centre’s current list. We do not replace that list with one of our own.
Sectors
Gujarat MSMEs in textiles, ceramics, chemicals, pharma and engineering. A compressor or motor watch, when the plant wants one, is the single-asset maintenance pilot.
Textiles
Sheds with compressors, humidification and several shifts.
Ceramics
Kilns and mills, where heat and batch loads need separate meters.
Chemicals and pharma
Process loads, with validated conditions kept out of a casual setpoint change.
Engineering
Job-work shops where compressor and furnace hours move with the order book.
Timeline
The scheme is operative from 01.06.2026 to 31.05.2031. Most applications must be made within six months of the triggering event. How long one plant takes depends on the auditor’s visit and on meter access. We do not quote a fixed number of weeks.
Eligibility
MSME status, district, and whether the scheme window still applies. Confirm with the DIC.
Auditor
A certified energy auditor is engaged for the visit. We are not that auditor.
Baseline
Meters and production for the period the report will use.
Report
Measures, the method of verification, and the 10% test where equipment aid is in view.
Claim
Documents go through the District Industries Centre. Most applications must be made within six months of the triggering event. Monitoring continues if you want the check afterwards.
Illustrative scheme math
A worked example for a Gujarat MSME. It shows how the assistance caps apply. It is not a client result, and it is not an amount any plant has received.
A Gujarat MSME spends Rs 50,000 on an energy audit. Assistance is Rs 37,500 (75%), inside the Rs 50,000 cap.
The plant installs Rs 40 lakh of recommended energy-saving equipment. 25% is Rs 10 lakh, inside the Rs 20 lakh cap.
The plant adds Rs 6 lakh of AI/IoT monitoring equipment. 65% is Rs 3.9 lakh, inside the Rs 5 lakh cap.
Total assistance
Rs 14.275 lakh, subject to eligibility
Rs 37,500 + Rs 10 lakh + Rs 3.9 lakh.
Figures show how the caps work. Actual assistance depends on eligibility and the official GR.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about auditors, the audit process, the 10% condition, and the DIC claim.
Are you an energy auditor in Ahmedabad?
No. We work with certified energy auditors. Ellvero is not an accredited or empanelled energy auditor. If you want an energy auditor in Ahmedabad, we introduce the auditor partner and run the monitoring beside the audit.
What is the energy audit process?
Confirm eligibility with the District Industries Centre, engage a certified auditor, baseline the meters, write the report, and file the claim the DIC asks for. Most applications must be made within six months of the triggering event. AI monitoring is the measurement layer so the same meters can be read again after a change.
Can you share an energy audit report example?
A client’s report is published only with their approval. The structure we use with auditor partners is a baseline, the measures, the meters used, and how a later reading would show whether the saving held. It is not a filled example with someone else’s numbers.
What does the 10% saving condition mean?
In the scheme summary we work from, energy-saving equipment assistance needs the audit to show at least 10% saving. That is a condition of the scheme. It is not a saving Ellvero guarantees for your plant.
Who files the subsidy claim?
The enterprise files through the District Industries Centre, with the auditor’s report and the documents the DIC currently requires. We help assemble the measurement note. We do not replace the DIC.
How soon must the application be filed?
Most applications under the MSME Government Resolution dated 25.09.2026 must be made within six months of the triggering event. The District Industries Centre confirms which event starts that period for the claim.
Check Your Subsidy Eligibility
Tell us the district, the MSME status and whether an audit has already been done. We will say what the next step is, and what we cannot confirm without the DIC.
