Barriers to industrial energy efficiency improvements in developing countries are more pronounced due to the existence of factors like lack of initiatives, financial constraints, weak information systems and many more. This study is an explorative and qualitative research aimed at enhancing the knowledge of energy efficiency and management strategies in Sugar industry, by investigating the barriers to and the driving forces for the implementation of energy efficiency measures in of South Gujarat. Results from the study revealed that there are scope of improvements in Sugar factories that there is an energy efficiency gap resulting from the low implementation of energy efficiency measures. In addition, the study revealed that the most important factors impeding the implementation of cost-effective energy efficiency technologies in the firms are principally economic (non-market) barriers like “access to capital”, “Other priorities for capital investments” and “Technical risks such as risk of production disruptions” and market factors related to “threats of rising energy prices” is the most important drivers for implementing energy efficiency measures or technologies.
