BEE 5 star rated Orpat’s MoneySaver fan consumes only 28 watts as compared to 75 watts by ordinary fans. Saves more than 65 percent on energy bills per year as well as reduces the energy consumption per year.

Orpat is the first company to provide an entry level fan which comes with a mobile app. For easy and comfortable use, the app has all the features as of a remote. This fan doesn’t require a fan regulator as the switch itself becomes the regulator.

On a larger front, the MoneySaver Smart Fan range reduces coal consumption by 3.3 billion KG per year while carbon emission is reduced by 6.6 billion KG per year.

Being into the legacy business for more than five decades, this is ORPAT Group’s first tryst to bring smart technology in a range of the affordable small home appliances sector. The launch aims to put Orpat Group as a key player in the tech-enabled home appliances segment while expanding its current user group.
