More tower cooler options during the Amazon Sale 2025:
A desert cooler is larger, designed for bigger rooms, and often comes with features like honeycomb pads and ice chambers for enhanced cooling in dry climates. A tower cooler , like the Symphony Diet 12T , is compact, portable, and ideal for personal or small-space cooling. Tower coolers are sleeker and better suited for urban homes with limited space.
The water tank capacity determines how long the cooler can run without refilling. For small rooms or personal use, a 12L–35L cooler like the Symphony Diet 12T or Crompton Optimus Neo is sufficient. For medium to large rooms, opt for a 50L+ cooler like the Bajaj TMH50 . Larger tanks reduce the frequency of refilling but make the cooler bulkier.
Yes, honeycomb pads (found in models like Orient Aerostorm and Crompton Optimus Neo ) are more efficient at retaining water and providing better cooling. They ensure uniform airflow and faster cooling compared to traditional aspen pads, making them ideal for hot and dry climates.
Air coolers are most effective in dry climates because they add moisture to the air. In humid climates , their efficiency drops as the air is already saturated with moisture. If you live in a humid area, consider using the cooler in "fan-only" mode or opting for a dehumidifier alongside it for better comfort.
Look for features like inverter compatibility (e.g., Bajaj TMH50 ), auto-fill functionality (e.g., Orient Aerostorm ), and 4-way air deflection (e.g., Crompton Optimus Neo ) for convenience. Advanced features like i-Pure Technology (e.g., Symphony Diet 12T ) or Everlast pumps enhance durability and air quality, making the cooler more reliable and efficient.

Excise duty on liquor goes up by over 50%, retail prices to rise from 14% to 60%

MUMBAI: The cash-strapped Maharashtra government on Tuesday increased the state excise duty on Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL) by over 50%, which will lead to a significant increase in retail prices by over 60%. It has also increased the duty on country liquor and imported premium liquor, which will hike their retail prices by 14% and over 25% respectively. The excise duty on beer and wine has not been increased. The government expects the whopping hike to increase its revenue to ₹57,000 crore, up ₹14,000 crore from the ₹43,620 crore collected in FY 2024-25. It expects 10% of the estimated revenue receipts of ₹5.60 lakh crore for the financial year 2025-26 to come from this. While tapping sources of revenue that would enable the drained exchequer to bear the burden of populist schemes like Ladki Bahin and sops for farmers and other communities, the Mahayuti government in January constituted a committee headed by then additional chief secretary Valsa Nair to recommend steps to increase revenue from liquor sales. The committee submitted its report in April this year, and the state cabinet gave its assent to this on Tuesday. Based on the recommendations of the committee, IMFL will now attract four and a half times excise duty on the manufacturing cost instead of the existing three times. 'This will vary based on the manufacturing price but could lead to a huge hike of over 60% in retail prices,' said an excise department official. The cost of IMFL currently ranges between ₹120 and ₹150 for 180 ml, which will now go up to a minimum of ₹205. Premium brands will cost a minimum of ₹360 for 180 ml as against their current rate ranging between ₹210 and ₹330. The price of 180-ml bottles of country liquor has gone up to ₹80 from the current price of ₹70. Beer and wine have been exempted from the excise duty hike. Officials said the retail price of beer, which has a lesser percentage of alcohol compared to hard liquor, is among the highest in the country and was thus exempted. In the case of wine, it is the policy of the state to promote wine since a significant chunk of the country's wineries are in Maharashtra and a significant number of farmers who supply grapes for these wineries are also based here. The government has also introduced a new category called Maharashtra-made liquor (MML), which will also be exempted from the hike. MML brands, made from grains, will cost a minimum of ₹148 for 180 ml, a price that has been strategically kept in the existing price range of IMFL to help MML capture the IMFL market. An official from the excise department said that the new category had been introduced to revive the 70 manufacturing units that manufacture IMFL from molasses and grains. 'Currently 22 of the 70 licenced units are entirely defunct while 16 do no manufacturing and renew their licence only for permission to sell liquor through their shops,' he said. 'The remaining 32 are actually manufacturing the liquor, and 10 of these produce 70% of the IMFL manufactured in the state.' The official added that distilleries using molasses would have to shift to making grain-based liquor in order to get the benefit of the exemption. The reason for this, he alleged, was that most of the grain-based manufacturing units are owned by politicians and the decision was taken to benefit them. The duty hike on IMFL brands has come after 14 years. According to officials, the excise duty levied is still lower than other neighbouring states like Madhya Pradesh and Telangana. 'The committee's recommendations were based on the study of the rates in other states,' said an officer. Another officer said that the hike in duty on country liquor brands was minimal since a greater increase and higher price would lead to the consumption of illicit liquor. 'It is also because the last hike was done in 2022,' he said. The cabinet has also allowed owners of bars to rent out permit room licences for alcohol by paying 10% of the licence fee.

Harman's India DTS is up for sale: Here are the top bidders

MUMBAI : Global private equity firms including Apax Partners, Bain Capital, Carlyle and General Atlantic are vying for a controlling stake in the digital transformation services (DTS) business of Harman US in India, three people aware of the development said. Harman US, a Samsung Group company, is looking at a valuation of $400-500 million for the Indian DTS business. 'Currently, the funds are doing due diligence. The second round of bids is likely only next month," one of the people cited above said on the condition of anonymity. Harman US has hired global investment bank Deutsche to help with the process. Mint was the first to report on the group's plans to sell a controlling stake in the India business on 12 May. Harman US is famous for its JBL, Harman Kardon and Infinity audio products; however, these are separate from its DTS business that's up for sale in India. Also read | Mint Exclusive: JBL maker Harman to sell controlling stake in India unit A Harman India spokesperson said, 'Harman does not comment on market speculation or rumors. As a global leader in technology and innovation across the automotive, consumer, and enterprise markets, we remain focused on delivering solutions that amplify life experiences. We are always exploring opportunities to strengthen our business, enhance our capabilities, and deliver value to our customers and stakeholders." Spokespersons for Apax and Carlyle and General Atlantic declined to comment, while Bain Capital did not respond to emailed queries. Among top brands Harman US is a Connecticut-based manufacturer of audio systems, automotive infotainment systems, lifestyle products, and connectivity solutions provider. It is counted among the top brands globally, with the majority of the revenue being derived from the automotive business and has contracts from some of the leading automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). It operates in more than 30 countries.

It helps life sciences and med-tech companies accelerate clinical trials and modernize platforms. For high-tech firms, it helps simplify platform engineering, accelerate development, and unlock end-of-life revenue. It also helps industrial and consumer clients to operate smarter and serve better—through real-time factory insights, connected ecosystems, and enterprise systems. Revenue driver The DTS business, particularly its Indian operations, plays a crucial role in driving revenue growth for the group. India is a centre of excellence for the DTS business, with a significant number of employees based here. India is a major hub for technology development within Harman's DTS business, with a substantial workforce and a focus on key verticals like healthcare, communications, and industrial. Harman India is a wholly owned subsidiary of Harman US. It has four major business segments, namely, Lifestyle, India Development Centre, Connected Car, and Professional.

'For Harman, the DTS business is non-core to its global strategy and it is looking to monetize it," the second person cited above said. In the recent past, companies such as Thyssen Krupp, Haier and Siemens Gamesa have considered selling their Indian business and focusing on their core business. With private equity firms getting active along with domestic business houses which are hungry for inorganic growth, the deal activity in this segment is likely to pick up going forward.

Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft buy green power under a special contract. That's causing losses

New Delhi: In a rare occurrence, India's falling real-time renewable energy tariffs are causing losses to Big Tech firms. The reason: a mechanism aimed at ensuring price stability and managing risks. Meta, Amazon and Microsoft are incurring losses on their green energy power purchase agreements (PPAs) that are based on Contract for Difference (CfD), said four people aware of the development. Power producers and buyers agree to pricing under long-term pacts. When such agreements are based on CfD, either party has to pay the difference between the contracted and the actual price to the other. In case the market prices are higher than the agreed-upon 'strike price', the power producer pays the differential to the procurer–in this case, corporates. But if the market price is lower than the contracted price, the company needs to pay the developer. With the prices falling below ₹1 per unit last month, the tech firms that signed CfD-based long-term PPAs are witnessing an average loss of around ₹1 per unit.

These contracts are important for large corporations to earn carbon credits to meet their green targets. 'The CfD contracts are under stress given the renewable energy prices trajectory," said one of the four people cited above, requesting anonymity. 'The price touched record lows last month and the recent trend is a rare development. The losses to corporates tied up in CfD-based PPAs would also be unprecedented, although unquantifiable as these PPAs are mostly private," said an executive with an energy exchange cited above who also did not want to be named. 'There are not many corporates in the country who have tied up such PPAs. The major players include the global tech giants." Queries emailed to Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft remained unanswered till press time. "Procuring entities would have been incurring losses in the past two months owing to the fall in market prices of power. Currently, the market-clearing price stands around ₹2.1-2.2 per unit during the solar hours," said Jatin Arya, director at CareEdge Ratings. 'This downtrend has been seen for two months in a row. However, in case prices rebound, these entities may be able to offset such losses over the course of the remaining months of the fiscal." Power prices drop in cooler May The decline in real-time prices comes as demand for power in India's top six industrialized states flattened in April and cooled in May, as reported by Mint earlier. This suggests a potential fall in factory production at the start of the new financial year. The average market-clearing price (MCP) on the Indian Energy Exchange during solar hours (11:00-16:00 hours) in May was ₹2.2 per unit against ₹3.5 a unit a year earlier, with prices in some time blocks at nearly ₹0 per unit. The average MCP during non-solar hours (00:00-11:00 hours and 16:00-24:00 hours) was ₹3.8/unit vs ₹5.2/unit in the corresponding period of the previous year. The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has projected a peak demand of 270 gigawatt (GW) this year, compared to a record 250 GW recorded on 30 May last year. But May was cooler this year compared with a year earlier, when the peak demand had touched 250 GW. The fall in temperatures drove prices down in the short-term power market. Average market-clearing price (MCP) in the real-time market declined 28% on-year to ₹3.43 per unit in May 2025, indicating ample availability amid tepid electricity volume requirement, said a Crisil report. Green commitments AEI New Energy Trading Pvt. Ltd, a subsidiary of Amazon Inc has a 20-year PPA at ₹2.72 per unit from 100 MW (AC)/135 MW (DC) solar power project in Rajasthan. Last August, Microsoft signed a PPA for 437.6 MW of green attributes, marking one of the largest corporate renewable deals in the country. Under this agreement, Microsoft aims to advance its renewable energy targets, while supporting community initiatives such as rural electrification and women's economic empowerment. Given the requirement of green attributes for achieving green energy targets, 30% of green energy usage cited by large corporations comprises green attributes sourced through international renewable energy certificates, CfD-based PPAs and virtual PPAs, said Aditya Malpani, senior director and regional business head – west, AMPIN Energy Transition. Temporary blip Industry players do not expect real-time renewable energy prices to remain low for long. 'The instance of prices reaching below ₹1 last month was a rare and is unlikely to sustain over the long term. It's important for industry to come up with a mutually winning contractual structure," said Malpani of AMPIN Energy Transition. "One provision could be the introduction of 'cap and collar'; in other words, lower and upper limits in case of upswings and downswings. Further, merchant projects can offload physical electricity to bulk off-takers under short-term contracts as breakeven prices in third-party sale are still much higher than market-clearing prices in exchanges. Lastly, electricity derivatives being launched in a short while shall provide another hedging mechanism for CfD contracts," Malpani said, adding that since price volatility is a reason why corporates remain cautious of getting into CfD-based PPAs. Read more: Crisis alert: Careless water management poses India an existential threat According to Suddhasatta Kundu, director-power sector advisory at Nangia & Co LLP, the decrease in solar price is attributed to various reasons, including low financing cost, higher generation during the day when demand is low, favourable regulatory provisions, among others. 'In the short term, there may be a reduction in solar price; however, in the long term, CfDs will be a favourable risk-mitigation instrument for the buyer. Green attributes requirement would certainly drive, but it will not solely be the driving factor," he said. Rahul Mishra, senior VP & head-C&I, BluPine Energy, said: 'While such price movements have prompted discussion around Contract for Difference (CfD)-based agreements, these are largely situational developments rather than indicators of a systemic challenge." Noting that for commercial and industrial (C&I) customers, renewable energy procurement remains a long-term strategic choice aimed at energy cost stability, decarbonization goals, and sustainability commitments, he said that CfD structures are designed to balance short-term fluctuations with long-term value, and temporary price dips hardly undermine the fundamental economic or environmental rationale of these contracts. These developments point to surplus renewable availability during certain periods, which reinforces the importance of storage solutions, transmission and evacuation efficiencies, demand-side flexibility, and innovative contracting models in the future, Mishra said.
