How electricity-free cooling could power India’s next green tech revolution
India faces record-breaking heat each summer, driving up electricity use and increasing the risk of grid blackouts. Cooling, once viewed as a luxury, has become essential to everyday life. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), India’s demand for cooling is expected to grow almost eightfold by 2038, making up as much as 45% of peak electricity load in some areas. As more homes, hospitals, and offices depend on air conditioners, the pressure on the power grid continues to rise. The challenge now is not whether India needs more cooling, but how to make it more efficient.
