Daikin wins the National Energy Conservation Award 2025 for the most energy-efficient Air Conditioner, our 3rd win!

Daikin India is honoured to receive the National Energy Conservation Award 2025 for the most energy efficient Air Conditioner. This recognition, along with our earlier NECA wins in 2017 and 2022, reinforces our belief that responsible cooling is essential for the future of our country. We express our gratitude to the Ministry of Power and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency for acknowledging our efforts.

Award Overview

The National Energy Conservation Award recognizes organizations that demonstrate leadership in energy efficiency and sustainable development. Daikin continues to set industry benchmarks through cutting-edge technologies that reduce energy consumption while delivering reliable, high-performance cooling.

Product Category

The award has been conferred in the Variable Speed Air Conditioners category.

Winning Product Model : FTKM50UV16VA + RKM50UV16VA

Product Overview

The FTKM50UV16VA + RKM50UV16VA is a 5-Star rated, 1.5 TR split wall-mounted Daikin Air Conditioner with Patented Swing Compressor Inverter Technology to deliver superior energy efficiency, fast cooling and long-term reliability.

ISEER Rating: 5.20
Cooling Capacity Performance: 100% cooling at 46°C
Operating Ambient Temperature: Up to 54°C

The AC uses Daikin’s patented R-32 refrigerant, featuring zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and low Global Warming Potential (GWP), significantly reducing environmental impact.

Key Energy-Efficient Technologies

Patented Swing Compressor

Daikin’s Swing Compressor minimizes friction and vibration, enabling smooth, quiet operation and reduced power consumption. The design prevents refrigerant leakage during compression, improving efficiency and durability compared to conventional rotary compressors.

Dew Clean Technology

An automatic indoor unit coil-cleaning function removes dust, bacteria, and mould using condensed water, followed by a drying cycle. This ensures:

Consistent airflow and cooling performance
Odour-free operation
Reduced mould formation and improved indoor air quality

Triple Display

The indoor unit display provides real-time visibility of:

Power consumption percentage
Set and room temperature
Auto error codes

This feature enables users to monitor energy usage, running capacity, and system health with complete transparency.

Anti-Corrosion Treatment

Benzotriazole oil coating protects copper coils from corrosion, delaying corrosion by up to 2.8 times. This treatment is highly effective for Indian conditions, including coastal regions, high humidity, monsoons, and polluted environments.

Powerful Air Throw

Cross Flow Evaporator Fans and Power-Air Flow Dual Flaps deliver uniform cooling with an air throw of up to 16 meters (52 feet), ensuring comfort across large spaces.

Hepta Sense Technology

Seven sensors placed across indoor and outdoor units continuously monitor system parameters, enhancing performance, comfort, and long-term reliability.

Stabilizer Inside Operation

Ensures smooth operation across a wide voltage range (130V–285V) without the need for an external stabilizer.

Auto Restart

Automatically resumes operation with previous settings after power interruptions.

Commitment to Sustainable Cooling

Daikin India actively supports the vision of the Global Cooling Prize (GCP) by combining global R&D expertise with deep insight into Indian climatic conditions. Daikin’s prototype showcased under GCP achieved an ISEER of 7.3, demonstrating exceptional energy efficiency while maintaining thermal comfort.

Daikin also leads the transition toward climate-friendly refrigerants such as R-32, reducing both direct and indirect emissions. The GCP initiative is supported by key Indian government bodies including the Ministry of Power, MoEFCC, DST, NITI Aayog, and BEE, underscoring India’s commitment to sustainable cooling.
