Government delays AC temperature regulation enforcement
India has decided not to enforce new air conditioner (AC) temperature limits just yet.
Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav shared at the India Climate Summit that setting ACs between 20-28°C might only become a rule after 2050.
For now, the focus is on building up capacity and making sure any climate steps fit India's unique needs and responsibilities.
TL;DR
What's being done?
The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) is working on plans to make ACs more energy efficient, chatting with appliance makers and state officials about what works best for different regions—especially considering humidity.
They're even talking with car companies to see if similar standards could work in vehicles down the line.
