Ministry of Power today said the Star Labelling Program of Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has resulted in energy efficiency improvement of split Air Conditioners by 43 percent for 1-Star and 61 percent for the 5-Star level. As per data from BEE, overall energy efficiency improvement for window ACs is 17 percent for 1-Star and 13 percent for 5-Star level. India’s energy efficiency policies have not only led to improvement in overall energy efficiency of Air-Conditioners but also accelerated the deployment of highly Energy Efficient inverter technology.
The interventions by the Central Government have also led to an increase in the market share of the more efficient Inverter ACs. During the eight years from 2015-16 to 2022-23, the market share of the more efficient, variable speed Inverter ACs increased from one percent to 99 percent.
