Orient Electric Limited has launched its new Ecotech Volt ceiling fan. Designed to mitigate the disruption caused by frequent power outages in Indian households, the fan features a built-in rechargeable battery that provides up to 10 hours of cooling without requiring an external inverter or power supply.
Core Specifications and Efficiency
The Ecotech Volt is powered by a 28W Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor engineered to reduce energy consumption by up to 50% compared to traditional induction ceiling fans.
Key technical and operational specifications include:
- Power & Motor: 28W energy-efficient BLDC motor with a double ball-bearing assembly.
- Voltage Compatibility: Operational across a wide input range of 120V to 280V to handle common electrical fluctuations.
- Backup Performance: Built-in battery engineered to retain up to 80% capacity after 500 charge cycles, offering up to 10 hours of operation during grid failures.
- Aesthetics: Available in two color finishes—Glacier Grey and White.
Pricing, Warranty and Market Availability
The Orient Electric Ecotech Volt BLDC Fan is priced at an MRP of Rs. 6,799, but you can get it for as low as Rs. 4,594 as a part of the freedom sale. You can also get it from retailers such as Amazon.in.
To support product reliability, Orient Electric provides a 3-year warranty on the fan assembly and a 1-year dedicated warranty on the integrated battery unit. The product aims to deliver a standalone, cost-effective cooling solution for regions prone to erratic power supply while aligning with broader energy conservation standards.
Commenting on the launch, Ravindra Singh Negi, Managing Director and CEO of Orient Electric, said:
The launch of Ecotech Volt is another step forward in our commitment to developing innovations that solve real consumer challenges. Power outages continue to impact millions of households across India, and with Ecotech Volt, we have yet again reimagined the ceiling fan to deliver uninterrupted comfort when consumers need it the most. Its integrated battery backup not only ensures up to 10 hours of continuous cooling during power cuts but also frees up inverter capacity for other essential appliances, offering added convenience for homes with an inverter while serving as a dependable solution for those without one. At Orient Electric, we believe that the best innovations are those rooted in a deep understanding of consumer needs, and Ecotech Volt is a testament to that philosophy.
