Consolidating agro-based industries in India is a role played by Micro, Small, Medium enterprises (MSMEs). Three main things are at stake if these clusters are to live on in the face of globalization: their economic sustainability, their environmental impact and their social accountability. Energy utilization efficiency plays an important role towards the economic viability as well as environmental sustainability of energy-intensive agro-based industries. Enhanced energy efficiency (EE) results in lower costs and less environmental impacts. This study investigates the factors influencing energy consumption in an agricultural industrial cluster. The Cobb-Douglas production function determines the significance of this input based on 80 sectors related to agriculture. Looking at specific energy consumption helps measure energy efficiency while Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used to analyze its driving forces. These variables are analyzed using multiple regression models.
