Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar announces a first-of-its-kind move to cap air conditioner settings, aiming to reduce power consumption and improve energy efficiency across residential, commercial, and vehicular use.

India sets cool new limits: ACs to chill only between 20°C and 28°C

Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar announces a first-of-its-kind move to cap air conditioner settings, aiming to reduce power consumption and improve energy efficiency across residential, commercial, and vehicular use.

In a move aimed at promoting energy efficiency and addressing climate concerns, the government is set to introduce a regulation that will restrict air conditioner temperature settings to a defined range.&nbsp;
Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs Manohar Lal Khattar announced on Tuesday that air conditioning systems will soon be mandated to operate only between 20&deg;C and 28&deg;C.
&ldquo;Regarding air conditioning standards, a new provision is being implemented soon. The temperature standardisation for ACs will be set between 20 degrees Celsius to 28 degrees Celsius, meaning we won't be able to cool below 20 degrees Celsius or warm above 28 degrees Celsius,&rdquo; Khattar said while speaking to reporters.
Calling it a pioneering initiative, the former Haryana chief minister described the measure as a test case. &ldquo;This is a first-of-its-kind experiment, aiming to standardise temperature settings,&rdquo; he noted.
The new regulation will apply universally &mdash; covering residential homes, commercial premises, and even air-conditioned vehicles. Officials cited the increasing use of cooling systems and escalating global temperatures as key reasons behind the decision.
&ldquo;We have decided the minimum temperature of ACs will be fixed at 20 degrees Celsius and the maximum at 28 degrees Celsius to bring uniformity to air conditioning use and help reduce excessive power consumption due to extremely low cooling settings,&rdquo; Khattar further added.
Currently, many air conditioners in the market allow users to select settings as low as 16&deg;C or as high as 30&deg;C. Once enforced, the new rules will supersede such capabilities to align with the government&rsquo;s updated guidelines.
This initiative also ties into India&rsquo;s broader energy-saving goals. Officials believe the step will not only curb unnecessary electricity consumption but also reduce household power bills and ease strain on national power grids during peak demand.
The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), in a 2020 directive, had already mandated that star-labelled room and car air conditioners must come with a default setting of 24&deg;C. For commercial spaces, acceptable temperature adjustments range between 24&deg;C and 25&deg;C, striking a balance between efficiency and occupant comfort.
By setting a national temperature standard for air conditioners, the government hopes to encourage more responsible energy use and support its commitment to combating climate change.

Sitting in AC for long hours can make your skin extremely dry and can lead to skin irritation, dryness and conditions like eczema or psoriasis. To prevent this, use a humidifier and moisturize regularly. 

Do you know prolonged use of air conditioners can damage your skin? Here's how to prevent it

<h2>Sitting in AC for long hours can make your skin extremely dry and can lead to skin irritation, dryness and conditions like eczema or psoriasis. To prevent this, use a humidifier and moisturize regularly.&nbsp;</h2>

After a long day in the scorching sun, your only desire is to rush indoors, switch on the air conditioner, and sit in the cool breeze. But are you aware that sitting in AC for long hours can make your skin extremely dry?
<h3>Air conditioner can make your skin dry&nbsp;</h3>
Air conditioning can have significant effects on your skin. The dry, artificial air produced by air conditioners can strip moisture from your skin, leading to dryness, irritation, and even exacerbating conditions like eczema or psoriasis. Prolonged exposure to air conditioning can also weaken the skin's natural barrier function, making it more susceptible to environmental damage and pollutants.
<h3>Prevent skin dryness skin from air conditioner&nbsp;</h3>
<ul>
<li>Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.</li>
<li>Use a humidifier in the room where the air conditioner is running to add moisture to the air.</li>
<li>Apply moisturizer regularly, especially after showering or washing your face, to lock in moisture and maintain the skin's natural barrier function.</li>
<li>Opt for a moisturizer with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin for extra hydration.</li>
<li>Avoid long periods of exposure to air conditioning whenever possible to minimize the risk of skin dryness.</li>

As demand for AC surges due to the rise in mercury, industry fears shortage of supply with most companies not having enough key components such as compressors in stock to keep pace with demand

AC demand soars amid surging mercury and a sweltering summer ahead

<h2>As demand for AC surges due to the rise in mercury, industry fears shortage of supply with most companies not having enough key components such as compressors in stock to keep pace with demand</h2>

Its going to be a sweltering summer in India. Forecasts of heatwaves and scorching days ahead have led to skyrocketing demand for airconditioners, reported The Economic Times.
<h3>AC demand surge</h3>
As per The Economic Times report, installations are taking up to two weeks in some areas and companies are facing the prospect of stocks running out. The sales have also surged as much as three times from the year before. This rise in sales is also seen in markets where demand has traditionally been low, with temperatures at 40 degrees Celsius and above.
&ldquo;No one in the industry anticipated this high sale &mdash; it&rsquo;s a record year,&rdquo; Daikin India managing director KJ Jawa told The Economic Times.
For instance Retail Chain Girias which has 150 stores in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, used to sell 500-600 ACs a day during peak summer. This has now surged &nbsp;to 1,500 units a day. Similarly, Great Eastern Retail which sold about 1,200 units a day during last year&rsquo;s heat wave in West Bengal and Odisha has seen an increase of 1,800 units a day through 51 stores. As per The Economic Times, Vijay Sales, which has 135 stores in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Delhi-NCR and Andhra Pradesh, is now selling almost 4,000 units a day compared with about 2,500 last year.
The Economic Times report also noted that due to the surge in demand, the deliveries and installations have been delayed for 10-12 days. This, due to the lack of infrastructure to tackle such a sudden spike in demand. The brands are also unable to replenish stock that fast.
<h3>Industry Stock</h3>
Meanwhile, this unprecedented demand for Air Conditioners has now lead to fears of shortage with most companies not having enough key components such as compressors in stock to keep pace with demand.
&ldquo;The industry as a whole is struggling with a shortage of on-field installation teams in markets like the south where there is an unprecedented demand increase,&rdquo; Daikin&rsquo;s Jawa told The Economic Times. &ldquo;Supplies too could become stressed now as we don&rsquo;t have so many components in stock to expand production as per the current demand.&rdquo;
Tata-owned Voltas managing director Pradeep Bakshi told The Economic Times that both AC and air cooler sales have grown at an unprecedented pace in the past month due to heat waves in multiple states.
&ldquo;Companies are grappling with supply chains. As soon as stock is reaching stores, it evaporates,&rdquo; he said.
The report further quoted retailers and said that sales in north India, which has traditionally been the largest AC and cooler market, have also started to rise since last week as summer takes hold and are expected to gain pace in the next two weeks with product availability likely to get scarce. Companies have also been moving their stock for the north to the south and east to meet immediate demand.
As per Girias director Nitesh Giria, some companies are also sending installation teams from other areas to places such as Coimbatore, Bengaluru and Hubli where installation time has swelled to 7-10 days.
The Economic Times quoted TN leading electronics retailer Viveks CEO Shankar BK and said that the greatest surge in sales is in smaller towns where temperatures are harsher and brands don&rsquo;t have a large network of installers as sales used to be traditionally low in these areas.
