India sets AC temp range of 20-28°C to save energy, aiming to reduce peak power demand.

India's government plans to set a standardized temperature range of 20-28 degrees Celsius for air conditioners to save energy. This move comes as India faces high electricity demand and frequent power outages during heatwaves. The country has achieved full electrification and met a peak power demand of 241 GW, marking significant growth in the power sector. The new AC standard aims to reduce peak power demand by up to 60 gigawatts by 2035, helping conserve energy and manage power usage during heatwaves.
