Cooling and refrigeration in Indian homes create a major problem: high electricity bills and a strained power grid during heatwaves. As a solution, India’s Bureau of Energy Efficiency and CLASP are pushing star-labelled appliances and 18 new 2024 policies. This encourages high-efficiency tech like BLDC fans and inverter ACs. The benefit to people is enormous, with families saving over ₹1.34 lakh crore in electricity costs in just one year. This shift ensures that staying cool remains affordable and sustainable for millions.
