What SEBI asks, verbatim
Details of total energy consumption (in Joules or multiples) and energy intensity, in the following format
Total electricity consumption (A), Total fuel consumption (B), Energy consumption through other sources (C), Total energy consumption (A+B+C), Energy intensity per rupee of turnover (Total energy consumption / Turnover in Rupees), Energy intensity (optional - entity may select relevant metric). Disclose for current and previous FY. Indicate if independent assessment/assurance carried out.
Quoted from the SEBI BRSR Format as amended March 2025, with measurement guidance from the ICAI Background Material on BRSR, Revised Edition 2024, page 130.
In plain English
Tell how much energy the company used last year and the year before, in joules or a multiple of joules. Break it down into electricity, fuel, and other sources, add them up, and show how much energy was used for each rupee of sales. The data usually comes from the company’s utility bills and fuel receipts, and you should note if an external audit checked it.
What a complete, assurance-ready answer contains
A complete, assurance‑ready answer lists the exact figures for each energy source (A, B, C) in Joules or a standard multiple, sums them to give total energy consumption, and calculates energy intensity per rupee of turnover for both the current and prior fiscal year. It also specifies the methodology, data sources, and any adjustments, and states whether an independent assessment was performed. A common gap is omitting the turnover figure used for the intensity calculation, which prevents assurers from verifying the ratio.
Describes the completeness and granularity an assurer expects. No company figures are named.
Where the data comes from
Usually found in utility bills, meter readings and fuel logs. Forward to your plant or energy manager.
Much of what BRSR asks for already exists in filings the company makes elsewhere, such as Pollution Control Board consents, PAT returns, hazardous-waste manifests and EPR registrations. The free gap analysis cross-references those filings against all 108 fields and shows which are already covered.
Frequently asked questions
What does BRSR P6-E1 ask for?
Tell how much energy the company used last year and the year before, in joules or a multiple of joules. Break it down into electricity, fuel, and other sources, add them up, and show how much energy was used for each rupee of sales. The data usually comes from the company’s utility bills and fuel receipts, and you should note if an external audit checked it.
Is BRSR P6-E1 an Essential or a Leadership indicator?
P6-E1 is an Essential indicator, so it is mandatory for every BRSR filer. It sits under Principle 6, Environment.
Who inside the company holds the data for P6-E1?
Plant / EHS / Energy. Usually found in utility bills, meter readings and fuel logs. Forward to your plant or energy manager.
What unit does P6-E1 use?
Joules (or GJ) / ratio. Reporting in the wrong unit, or switching the denominator of an intensity ratio between years, is one of the more common reasons a figure has to be restated.
What does a complete answer to P6-E1 look like?
A complete, assurance‑ready answer lists the exact figures for each energy source (A, B, C) in Joules or a standard multiple, sums them to give total energy consumption, and calculates energy intensity per rupee of turnover for both the current and prior fiscal year. It also specifies the methodology, data sources, and any adjustments, and states whether an independent assessment was performed. A common gap is omitting the turnover figure used for the intensity calculation, which prevents assurers from verifying the ratio.
Other disclosures under Principle 6

Water discharged, by destination and treatment level (kilolitres)
Do you have Zero Liquid Discharge? If yes, its coverage
Air emissions other than greenhouse gases (NOx, SOx, particulate matter, VOCs)
Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions, and emissions per rupee of turnover
