CHANDIGARH: The Haryana government has made it mandatory for all new tubewell connections to use ISI-marked pumps and accessories so as to improve water pumping efficiency and for conservation of electricity. A Spokesman for the `Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam' said here on Sunday that over 35 per cent of the total power generated in the State is consumed in running of electrically operated pump sets in the agricultural sector. During the peak demand days of agriculture, it rises up to 55 per cent. Most farmers use inefficient non-ISI marked pump sets which consume more electricity and deliver less output. There is a potential of about 35 per cent improvement in the efficiency of these pump sets with minor rectification and by shifting to ISI-marked pumps. ``Hence, the government has decided to promote the ISI marked pumps, power capacitors, reflex valves, etc in the state to save electricity in the agriculture sector,'' he said. - PTI
