India’s New AC Temperature Rule: A Step Toward Saving Electricity and the Environment

India Sets New AC Temperature Limits — Here’s What You Need to Know

The Indian government has issued a new regulation: all air conditioners must now operate between 20°C and 28°C. This move aims to reduce electricity consumption, reduce carbon emissions, and protect the environment. So, what does this mean for you — as a consumer or a utility provider? And how can you adapt without giving up your cooling comfort? 

Let’s break it down.

Why Did the Government Set AC Temperature Limits?

During the rising hot summers AC's are no longer a luxury. But setting them at very low temperatures is silently increasing energy consumption and damaging the environment. In fact, every 1°C increase in AC temperature can reduce electricity usage by up to 6%.

As millions of ACs run during peak hours, they push electricity demand to record highs—leading to blackouts, unstable grids, and a greater reliance on fossil fuels.

Yet, most families remain unaware of their AC’s impact—until the bill arrives, often running into thousands due to inefficient use.

The Real Need Isn’t Just Temperature Limits—It’s Control

Think about it:

• Do you know how much electricity your AC consumes every day?
• Can you track if it’s running beyond the efficient range?
• Are you sure your electricity bill is fair or full of silent wastage?

Most people don’t—and that’s the problem.

Here’s what that silent wastage does:

• Your electricity bill spikes without you knowing why
• Every wasted unit adds to carbon emissions, worsening climate change
• Utilities struggle to balance peak demand, leading to blackouts and overloading
• And you? You’re left with confusion, disputes, and no data to challenge high bills.
