Executive Summary

India is rapidly becoming a preferred destination for tourism, both International as well as

Domestic, with an annual growth of about 15%. The hospitality sector is a major consumer

of energy in different forms for various end-uses. There is significant scope for direct energy

saving as well as complementing its energy supply through the installation of Solar Water

Heating Systems and other Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs). Towards this, the

Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has launched a unique initiative, titled

“Campaign on Solar Water Heating and other Renewable Energy Technologies in the

Hospitality Sector” under UNDP-GEF’s National programme on Solar Water Heating

Systems (SWHS). The main objective of the project is to promote and accelerate the

application of Solar Water Heating and other RETs by developing and implementing a

nationwide campaign for the hospitality sector covering the hotel and catering industry. As

a part of this project, case studies have been carried out to document, as well as to showcase,

success stories of different installations of renewable energy technologies in the hotels. These

case studies attempt to capture all the key features of the systems along with the users’

feedback and presenting them succinctly.
