<h1>Government delays AC temperature range rule of 20-28 degrees until after 2050 citing national circumstances</h1> The Union Environment Minister stated the government will not immediately implement the proposed air conditioner temperature range of 20-28 degrees Celsius, indicating implementation may only occur after 2050. The minister emphasized that climate targets must align with national circumstances and the CBDR-RC principle, which requires developed nations to contribute more to climate action due to their historical emissions and greater resources. A previous announcement suggested ACs would be required to operate within this fixed temperature range, with settings outside these limits prohibited. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency reports most ACs currently operate at 20-21 degrees Celsius, though 24-25 degrees is recommended for optimal energy efficiency, potentially saving up to 24 percent electricity.
