Description: The Indian government has introduced a new rule to regulate air‑conditioner temperature settings across homes, offices, cars, hotels, and public buildings. Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar announced that ACs will soon be restricted to operate only between 20 °C and 28 °C—you won’t be able to cool below 20 °C or heat above 28 °C This is a first‑of‑its‑kind move aimed at saving energy, reducing electricity bills, and easing demand on the power grid, especially during heatwaves. ACs now often go down to 16 °C, significantly increasing power consumption. Experts estimate that raising the minimum by just 1 °C can lower energy use by about 6% Over three years, this could save consumers between ₹18,000–30,000 crore and reduce peak demand by several gigawatts. There’s also a health benefit: keeping indoor temperatures between 24–26 °C is considered comfortable and helps avoid throat dryness, skin issues, and respiratory infections from overly cold air. Additionally, running ACs within this range can stop compressors from overworking, which could extend the lifespan of units and lower the risk of breakdowns. The move aligns India with global energy‑efficiency standards seen in countries like Japan, Singapore, and South Korea. These rules are being drafted by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency and are still under consultation with appliance makers, state governments, and automakers. While enforcement details are not yet final, soon all new ACs will have fixed 20–28 °C settings by design. In plain terms: ACs will soon have a firm thermostat range, which helps you save money, makes rooms comfortable, and reduces strain on the power system—all part of India’s push toward greener, more efficient energy use.
