During the event, he introduced EESL’s BLDC fan (28-32 Watt) and induction cookstoves which are aimed at further enhancing energy efficiency measures. With the distribution of energy efficient LED Bulbs, BLDC Fans and LED Tube lights, these appliances have a potential to reduce energy consumption by 55% approx. This will further help save energy to rationalize the increased requirement for power consumption due to rapid urbanization and population growth.
