Expanding Green Yodha into a nationwide
people-led movement, Schneider Electric is encouraging Indians to take everyday
'Energy Saving Actions' and directly contribute towards India’s sustainability
acceleration
New
Delhi, 26 June 2026 : Schneider Electric, a global energy
technology leader, has announced that 2,50,000 citizens have joined the One
Unit Mission which is part of its flagship Green Yodha sustainability
movement. The One Unit mission, a unique initiative which was launched
couple of months back, encourages citizens to save at least one unit of
electricity every day through smarter energy usage.
As
India’s energy demand continues to rise, demand-side actions are emerging as a
critical lever in accelerating the country’s energy and sustainability
transition. Industry estimates suggest that every rupee saved on the demand
side, can reduce supply-side investments by a factor of 3, highlighting the
role of energy efficiency technologies and solutions in accelerating India’s
sustainability ambitions.
Mr.
Deepak Sharma, Zone President – Greater India, MD & CEO, Schneider Electric
India, said, “As India continues to grow, so will
our energy needs. At Schneider Electric, we believe the transition to a more
sustainable future is not only about producing cleaner energy but also about
using energy more efficiently. The cleanest, most sustainable unit of energy is
the one we don’t waste. If everyone saves even one unit of electricity a day,
the collective impact will be huge. Through the ‘One Unit Mission’, we hope to
inspire simple everyday actions that can together create a larger movement
towards sustainable living.”
Through
the ‘One Unit Mission’, Schneider Electric is encouraging citizens to adopt
simple energy-saving habits in their everyday lives. The initiative begins with
small actions such as switching off unused devices and reducing standby power
consumption, encouraging households to adopt energy-efficient technologies,
smart power management, and home automation solutions for more efficient energy
use.
Mr.
Rajat Abbi, Vice President – Marketing, Schneider Electric India,
said, “The ‘One Unit Mission’ was created with a simple belief that
sustainability should feel achievable. Through this campaign, we are
encouraging citizens to take small but meaningful steps towards smarter energy
use in their daily lives. What is especially encouraging is seeing communities
come together and turn individual actions into a larger movement for
sustainable living.”
As
participants progress in their sustainability journey, the campaign aims to
inspire communities to collectively move towards smarter, more
energy-efficient, and future-ready homes, with the long-term vision of enabling
a more sustainable living. Through this movement, Schneider Electric aims to
inspire a Green Yodha in every home by empowering citizens to contribute
towards a more sustainable planet while also helping reduce everyday energy
bills.
In
the coming months, Schneider Electric is expanding the ‘One Unit Mission’
through RWA-led community activations, digital participation drives, AI-powered
consumer engagement initiatives, and on-ground outreach programs designed to
turn everyday energy-saving actions into a larger citizen movement.
