India cooperates with companies that produce air conditioning (ACS) and appliances to order a standard coolant in an effort to reduce energy use, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday, June 10, 2025.
The Minister of Power of the Union at a press conference on Tuesday said that the government plans to repair the AC temperature in the range of 20 degrees Celsius to 28 degrees Celsius. He stressed that this would apply to ACS in hotels, houses and even in cars.
“Temperatures would be set in the range of 20C-28C,” said the Minister of Power of the Union, Manohar Lal, quoted by the press agency. “This would happen for ACS in homes, hotels and even in cars,” he said.
According to an agency report, this government mandate is still in the initial phase because India plans to concentrate its efforts to increase energy efficiency in the middle of increasing electricity consumption.
Demand for electricity exceeded the capacity of energy production, resulting in parts of India did not acquire energy during the combustion of the summer months in April to June.
Air -conditioning energy consumption
The air conditioning thermostats show that some of these machine temperatures can be reduced to only 16 degrees Celsius, according to the agency report.
Energy Minister Pankaj Agarwal told the press agency that the only air conditioning can represent up to 50 gigawatts of the burden. Any increase in the alternating current temperature leads to a 6 % reduction in energy consumption, he said.
Angarwal stressed that this reduction in electricity consumption would be reflected in the saving of 3 Gigawatt of the top demand. India has nearly 100 million air -conditioning appliances, with almost 15 million each year.
Reducing energy consumption of energy consumption to increase energy efficiency is likely to save 60 gigawatts in Indian top demand for electricity by 2035. £7.5 Lakh crore new generation and grid infrastructure.
“Although the demand for the summit reaches 270 gigawatts, we are fully ready to meet it,” said Minister of Power Manohar Lal at a press conference at a press conference.
The maximum demand in India last year reached 250 gigawatts and in 2025 it was estimated to climb 8 percent in 2025. So far, rains in the nation have maintained demand for electricity under control. However, the return of thermal waves in June contributed to an increase in AC consumption.
