Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Description of the Gazette Notification

  • This gazette notification, issued by the Ministry of Power, Government of India, on October 14, 2024, amends a previous notification (S.O. 4554(E) dated September 26, 2022) concerning energy efficiency standards for refrigerators.
  • The amendment extends the validity period of existing energy consumption standards for both Frost Free and Direct Cool refrigerators and introduces new standards effective from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028.

Key Changes

  • The validity period for energy consumption standards specified in Tables 1 and 2 (for Frost Free and Direct Cool Refrigerators respectively) of the September 26, 2022 notification, originally set from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024, has been extended to December 31, 2025.
  • New energy consumption standards (Tables 1.1 and 2.1) have been introduced for both Frost Free and Direct Cool Refrigerators, effective from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028. These tables specify different annual energy consumption (AEC) limits in kilowatt-hours per year (kWh/year) based on star ratings (1 to 5 stars). The AEC limits are calculated using a formula involving a variable 'Vtot' (likely total volume).

Impact Analysis

Refrigerator Manufacturers

  • Increased costs associated with R&D and production changes may impact profitability, potentially leading to price adjustments.

Consumers

  • The extended validity period provides a smoother transition for consumers and manufacturers.

Government/Bureau of Energy Efficiency

  • Regular review and updates of these standards may be necessary to keep pace with technological advancements.

Importers

  • They may face challenges in sourcing products that meet the new standards, potentially impacting supply chains and costs.
