The MoU was signed in the presence of Nidhi Khare, Secretary, Department of Consumer Affairs, Government of India and Pankaj Agarwal, Secretary, Ministry of Power.

Some of the salient features of the MoU are:

Agarwal, Secretary Ministry of Power said Star Ratings of electrical appliances and products are provided by BEE. "We need to check whether an industry that has taken the star ratings from us is consistently delivering on the parameters. To ensure this, we have joined hands with Department of Consumer Affairs for market surveillance and for dependable testing", he said.

It may be pertinent to mention that the MoU between the Departments of Government of India National Test House (a Premier Scientific & Testing Agency) and Bureau of Energy Efficiency (through its S&L Programme) will certainly help in the sustainable development of the country in respect of Conservation of Energy by saving electricity also thus reducing the carbon footprints.
