The power ministry body, which works on improving energy efficiency of electronic products, also plans to revise the energy efficiency levels of ten existing star-rated products such as refrigerators, ceiling fans, room ACs and distribution transformers this year to push manufacturers to launch more energy-efficient products. Over the next three years, it will make energy labelling norms compulsory for products such as LPG stoves, microwave ovens and induction hobs, which are voluntary at present, said Bakre.
