Preserving the Planet – in a
Greener, Cleaner Way!

The word that is going to drive this decade is, without a doubt, ‘sustainability’.

As environmental concerns loom larger around the globe, more and more governments and subsequently industries and are leaning towards greener options in every sphere. But long before the world started talking about greener solutions, Voltas committed itself to a greener and efficient future.

Be it the unitary cooling products division, that includes everything in air cooling, smart home appliances from Voltbek, the international business division that handles large turnkey projects, or the Domestic operations that takes on HVAC, water treatment and rural electrification, all our businesses have their roots in green innovation. This is apparent even within the group’s Engineering Products and Services section. The company has always sought to drive value through smart engineering, with a strong focus on sustainability.

Perhaps this is why the company continues to stay within the top ten Tata companies!

OF INNOVATION
AND INTEGRITY!

Voltas has always set the bar high when it comes to their products. Take the case of their air conditioners. The market leader not only launched India’s first star rated AC almost three years before it was made mandatory by the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency), but they even went on to break the barrier by providing customers with star rated inverter ACs way back in 2016, when the concept was still to gain momentum in the country.

Further, sensing the shift in both, consumer perception and preference, the company upped their offerings – from 4 models in 2017-18, to 34 models in its various capacities, viz. 1 ton, 1.2 ton, 1.5 ton and 2 ton, across its 3/4/5 star ranges. Also, thanks to dedicated R&D, these models promise superior ISEER ratings of 5.3 and 4.5, much higher than the government prescribed 5 and 4 stars in 1.5 ton units; and 5.6 in 1 ton category.

In fact, the Voltas went a step ahead. When other companies were moving away from the category, they went on to develop window inverter ACs, as these equate with better energy efficiency, offering an almost 30% savings in energy. Meanwhile, leveraging the brand equity, the company entered the air cooler market a couple of years back with products that offer customers fresher and superior air, thanks to their special Anti-bacterial Technology.

Voltas is also sets the bar high in the commercial refrigerator and water cooler segment, using tropical compressors, which guarantee 10% better energy efficiency than the competition. The company has even developed an inverter based Chest freezer with Green refrigerant, R600a, giving more than 25% energy savings than the conventional one.

Another innovative service that has increased performance is the development of their Remote tracking system. With this technology, chest coolers & Visi coolers can be tracked so breakdowns can be averted, saving time and money and increasing efficiency, too.

In 2018, the company entered the white goods market with a bang, thanks to their JV with Arçelik, a leading player in the UK and European market. The products, under the brand name Voltas Beko include state-of-the-art refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens and dishwashers. These products are not only made to suit the Indian market conditions, but are also specially designed to be more energy efficient.

When one talks of energy efficiency, mention of Voltas’ DPG cannot be far behind! Committed to ‘societal engineering’, the company has been offering greener, cleaner solutions in every engineering project undertaken. It holds the distinction of working on India’s first ‘Net Zero’ building in India (‘Paryavaran Bhavan’) with ‘LEED Platinum’ certification and GRIHA Five Star certification for exemplary demonstration of renewable technologies.

OF PRINCIPLES
AND PARTNERSHIPS!

Perhaps it is this commitment to conscientious development and sustainable solutions that has led Voltas to extend its support to many events where environmental concerns are being raised and resolved. Recently, the company joined hands with Mumbai First to host a two-day international conference, ‘Climate Crisis: Action for Tropical Coastal Cities’ in collaboration with the European Union and CSIR-NEERI. The two day conference held on 27th and 28th Feb at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, Mumbai was supported by The Government of Maharashtra and MoEFCC and was a well-attended event with several key experts from across the globe who discussed the impact of climate change, and the impending climate crisis, on tropical coastal cities.

Acrex is another event where Voltas has worked to push sustainable solutions. The latter is South Asia’s largest exhibition on HVAC, and Voltas has been the Knowledge Partner in these exhibitions, which are known for their elite and exclusive participation, with the latest products on display and the many technical workshops held during its course. The company gets a perfect platform to showcase its superior range of VRF, chillers, ACs, air coolers, air purifiers and water dispensers, as well as the entire Voltas Beko range. The partnership also stands testimony to the company’s dedication to environment-friendly solutions.

This year, the theme for Acrex was “The world of HVAC - Building a sustainable future together...Shudh vayuu, deerh aayu”. And that is exactly what Voltas has always aimed for!
