Govt unlikely to implement 20 to 28 deg C AC temp range immediately: Union environment minister

Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav clarified that the government is unlikely to enforce the 20-28 degrees Celsius air conditioner temperature range immediately. Implementation will be gradual, potentially after 2050, aligning with national circumstances and the principle of Common But Differentiated Responsibilities. This approach balances climate targets with ensuring energy access for all citizens, as emphasized in India's national climate plan.
