When I was checking the meraki poe switch (model - MS225-48FP) this shows there.  What is the meaning of each consumption, budgeted and their corresponding values?

The PoE devices is telling the switch that it might need as much as 30W (the budget), but at the time of looking they are only actually using 10.2W and 5.3W in my case.  Therefore the switch would have a PoE budget of 60W and consumption of 15.5W.

Consumption is how much power is currently being used by PoE devices on that switch

 

Budgeted is how much all of the connected PoE devices have said they might need.  i.e. a wireless AP might ask for 30W, but actually be only using 12W when you checked.

What is the meaning of budgeted 1008 W/740 W. Here what does it mean by the values?Total power of the switch is 740w then what is 1008 w?

Switch PoE total power is 740W

Budgeted PoE power for all connected devices is 1008W

 

The budget can way exceed the total as devices hardly ever use what they budget.

If you go to the ports view and enable the PoE column, you can see how each device requests (and therefore the switch budgets) more empower than it generally uses:
