New Delhi, August 17th, 2026: Orient Electric Limited [BSE: 541301, NSE: ORIENTELEC], part of the diversified USD 3 billion CKA Birla Group, has launched Ecotech Volt BLDC ceiling fan with built-in battery backup. The fan addresses one of the country’s most persistent household challenges of power cuts, and delivers up to 10 hours of uninterrupted cooling*, without the need of an inverter or external power backup.
Power outages continue to disrupt sleep, work, and daily routines across Indian households. Ecotech Volt addresses this challenge with a long-lasting rechargeable battery seamlessly integrated into the fan. The result is a smarter, cost-effective fan that keeps homes comfortable, even when the grid does not.
Ravindra Singh Negi, Managing Director and CEO of Orient Electric, said, “The launch of Ecotech Volt is another step forward in our commitment to developing innovations that solve real consumer challenges. Power outages continue to impact millions of households across India, and with Ecotech Volt, we have yet again reimagined the ceiling fan to deliver uninterrupted comfort when consumers need it the most. Its integrated battery backup not only ensures up to 10 hours of continuous cooling during power cuts, but also frees up inverter capacity for other essential appliances, offering added convenience for homes with an inverter while serving as a dependable solution for those without one. At Orient Electric, we believe that the best innovations are those rooted in a deep understanding of consumer needs, and Ecotech Volt is a testament to that philosophy.”
At the core of Ecotech Volt is a high-performance energy efficient 28W BLDC motor that consumes up to 50% less energy than conventional induction fans. Built with a durable double ball-bearing mechanism, the fan ensures consistent and reliable performance across wide voltage fluctuations ranging from 120V to 280V. Available in Glacier Grey and White, Ecotech Volt complements home interiors with its clean and timeless design.
The integrated battery is engineered for longevity, retaining up to 80% of its battery health after 500 charge cycles. The fan comes with a 3-year warranty, while the battery is covered by a dedicated 1-year warranty.
With Ecotech Volt, Orient Electric continues to build on its legacy of consumer-centric innovation, developing products that solve real-world challenges while delivering energy-efficient, future-ready electrical solutions for modern Indian homes.
