The proposal by India's energy minister aims to limit the minimum temperature of air conditioners to 20°C, in a bid to save energy in a country with rising demand. With annual sales of 10-15 million units, each degree raised could save 6% of energy. Reactions are mixed, with some residents believing the measure will bring comfort and others emphasizing the need for more energy-efficient solutions. Air conditioners currently contribute significantly to energy consumption, and the government is looking for ways to reduce the environmental impact.
