Pg=price of gas as declared by Gas Authority of India Limited;
Pe = average price of one unit of electricity for industrial sector in the States of
Chattisgarh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu as
specified by the respective State Electricity Regulatory Commission;
all prices shall be as on 1st April of the year for which value of energy is being
specified.

Specific energy consumption (See rule 2(I))
(a)
The specific energy consumption (SEC) gives the indication of efficient utilisation of different
sources of energy in a plant operational boundary t o produce one unit of product, which is defined
as the ratio of total energy input t o plant boundary and t he quantity of products produced and
specific energy consumpt ion of an industry shall be calculated based on Gate-to-Gate concept w ith
the following formula:-
Specific Energy Consumpt ion =
Net energy input into the designated consumers' boundary
Total quantity of output exported from the designated consumers' boundary
and expressed in terms of the metric ton of oil equivalent (toe)/per unit of product;
Note: value to be rounded t o three decimal places.
