Blue Star Limited has announced the launch of its new range of Room Air Conditioners for Summer 2026, comprising 125 models aimed at driving growth in residential and commercial cooling segments. All models comply with the new Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) standards effective January 1, 2026.
The company is addressing the projected growth of India's room AC industry from approximately 14 million units to 30 million units by FY30, driven by increasing affluence, urbanization, and climate intensity, with significant growth expected in Tier 3, 4, and 5 markets.
The new portfolio includes inverter, fixed-speed, and window air conditioners, featuring a premium 'Iconia' range. Specialised models include 'Super Energy-Efficient ACs' with Dynamic Drive Technology achieving an ISEER of 6.25 (45% more efficient than a 3-star inverter AC), 'Heavy-Duty ACs' capable of cooling in up to 56°C ambient temperature, 'Hot & Cold ACs' operational down to -15°C, and 'Anti-Virus Technology ACs' for enhanced indoor air quality.
Nearly 50 models are Smart WiFi enabled with AI-driven features. The company offers a lifetime warranty on the inverter compressor and a five-year warranty on PCBs, along with financing options.
To support this expansion, Blue Star has increased its manufacturing capacity to 1.4 million units, scalable to 1.8 million, across its facilities in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh, and Himachal Pradesh. These plants utilize advanced automation and IoT integration.
The company also offers a comprehensive range of commercial refrigeration products, including deep freezers, water coolers, and specialized equipment for various sectors, anticipating strong growth driven by out-of-home consumption and food retail expansion.
B Thiagarajan, Managing Director, stated, “India’s cooling demand is at an inflection point... The new range... further strengthens our ability to capitalise on the growing opportunities.”
