India Cooling Action Plan (ICAP)

The initiative aims to provide sustainable cooling and thermal comfort while delivering environmental and socio-economic benefits. It promotes reduced cooling demand, efficient refrigerant use, and advanced technologies over a 20-year horizon.

  • Aim: To provide sustainable cooling and thermal comfort for all while securing environmental and socio-economic benefits for the society. 
India's Cooling Action Plan objectives for 2037-38: 20-25% reduction in cooling demand, 25-30% reduction in refrigerant demand, 25-40% reduction in cooling energy requirements, and training 100,000 servicing sector technicians by 2022-23.
  • The ICAP provides an integrated vision towards cooling across sectors encompassing inter alia reduction of cooling demand, refrigerant transition, enhancing energy efficiency and better technology options with a 20 year time horizon (refer to the infographics). 
  • This will also help in reducing both direct and indirect emissions.
