About the State Energy & Climate Index (SECI)-

• The index aims to track the efforts made by states and UTs in the climate and energy sector.
• The index has been designed to assess and identify the scope for improving the performance of states and to help them efficiently manage their energy resources.
• The objectives of the index are: 

1. 1. Ranking the States based on their efforts towards improving energy access, energy consumption, energy efficiency, and safeguarding the environment.
   2. Helping drive the agenda of affordable, accessible, efficient and clean energy transition at the State level.
   3. Encouraging healthy competition among the states on different dimensions of energy and climate.

• The SECI Round I ranks the states’ performance on 6 parameters, namely-

1. 1. DISCOM’s Performance.
   2. Access, Affordability and Reliability of Energy.
   3. Clean Energy Initiatives.
   4. Energy Efficiency.
   5. Environmental Sustainability; and 
   6. New Initiatives. 

• The parameters are further divided into 27 indicators. 
• Based on the composite SECI Round I score, the states and UTs are categorized into three groups: Front Runners, Achievers, and Aspirants.
• The states have been categorized based on size and geographical differences as larger states, smaller states, and UTs. 
• Gujarat, Kerala, and Punjab have been ranked as the top three performers in the category of larger states. 
• Goa, emerged as the top-performing state in the smaller states category, followed by Tripura, and Manipur.
