“India’s aggregate cooling demand is poised to grow 8 times over the next 20 years. This is happening because of growing urbanisation, increased aspirations, need for better thermal comfort conditions, worsening ambient air conditions, increased industrialisation and a fast-growing economy. All this will add to our energy bills as HVAC consumes the largest chunk of electricity in buildings,” states Vishal Kapur, National Past President, ISHRAE.

The Indian HVAC&R market is quickly racing towards a size of more than $7,500 million in the next five years and that is the reason why every manufacturer in the international market would vie for a space in the Indian sub-continent.
