1.5 Ton Split ACs for Diwali 2026 See Prices Start at Rs. 31,490
With Diwali approaching on November 8, Indian households considering a new air conditioner have several options in the 1.5-ton split AC segment, with prices in a festive-season comparison starting at Rs. 31,490. The selection highlighted by Bajaj Finance includes models from Godrej, Voltas, LG and Daikin, with a mix of 3 Star and 5 Star energy ratings, inverter compressors and convertible cooling features.
The models are aimed at rooms measuring approximately 120–180 sq. ft., although the right capacity for an individual room will depend on factors such as ceiling height, sunlight exposure, insulation and the number of occupants. For buyers planning ahead of the next summer, the Diwali period may offer an opportunity to compare prices and energy-saving features before demand rises.
The five models featured in the comparison range from an entry-level Godrej inverter AC to a 5 Star Daikin model with Coanda airflow technology. Their listed prices range from Rs. 31,490 to Rs. 46,990.
1.5 Ton Split ACs for Diwali 2026 Offer Options Across Budgets
The selection covers different price points and household requirements rather than a single best-fit model. The following prices and specifications are based on the Bajaj Finance comparison and may vary across retailers, locations and promotional periods.
Godrej 2026 1.5 Ton 3 Star Split Inverter AC – Rs. 31,490
The most affordable option in the selection is the Godrej 3 Star inverter model. It features 5-in-1 convertible cooling, allowing users to adjust cooling capacity according to their requirements. Heavy Duty Cooling is another highlighted feature, intended to support operation during hotter conditions.
Its relatively lower upfront price may appeal to buyers looking for a basic inverter air conditioner without moving into the higher-priced 5 Star segment.
Voltas 183INV Vertis Zenith Gold – Rs. 33,489
The Voltas 183INV Vertis Zenith Gold is another 3 Star option in the comparison. It is positioned as a practical choice for households looking for an affordable air conditioner from a brand with a broad service presence in India.
For buyers, access to installation and after-sales support is an important consideration, particularly when purchasing an appliance expected to remain in use for several years.
Godrej 2026 1.5 Ton 5 Star Split Inverter AC – Rs. 37,990
For households that operate their air conditioners for longer periods, the Godrej 5 Star inverter model offers a higher energy-efficiency rating. It is listed at Rs. 37,990, making it the lowest-priced 5 Star model in this particular selection.
A higher star rating can help reduce electricity consumption compared with a less efficient model of similar capacity. However, the actual savings depend on operating hours, temperature settings, room conditions and the unit’s efficiency specifications.
LG 1.5 Ton 5 Star Dual Inverter AC – Rs. 42,990
The LG 5 Star Dual Inverter model is listed at Rs. 42,990. Its dual inverter compressor adjusts cooling output according to the room’s requirements, helping maintain a more consistent temperature.
The model is positioned for buyers who prioritise quieter operation alongside energy efficiency. Those considering it should also compare the product warranty, installation charges and the exact model specifications before making a purchase.
Daikin ATKM50XV16MKA – Rs. 46,990
At Rs. 46,990, the Daikin ATKM50XV16MKA is the highest-priced model in the selection. Its Coanda airflow technology is designed to distribute air across the room without directing a strong stream of cool air straight at occupants.
Daikin’s published specifications for the ATKM50XV include a 5 Star rating, a rated ISEER of 5.70 and annual power consumption of 678.92 kWh. The company also lists a 10-year compressor warranty and a five-year PCB warranty for this model. Buyers should confirm the applicable warranty terms at the time of purchase.
1.5 Ton Split ACs Need a Closer Look at Energy Ratings
One of the most important decisions when buying an air conditioner is whether to choose a 3 Star or 5 Star model. A 3 Star AC generally has a lower purchase price, while a 5 Star unit is designed to consume less electricity under the prescribed testing conditions.
For households that use air conditioning for several hours every day, the higher initial cost of a 5 Star model may be offset by lower electricity consumption over time. For occasional use, however, the price difference may take longer to recover.
Buyers should compare the Indian Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (ISEER) and the annual electricity consumption printed on the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) label. These figures provide a more useful basis for comparison than the star rating alone.
It is also worth checking the model’s cooling capacity, operating range, compressor warranty and service availability. Features such as convertible cooling can be useful because they allow the appliance to operate at different capacities depending on room conditions and cooling requirements.
1.5 Ton Split ACs Should Match the Room and Usage Pattern
A 1.5-ton air conditioner is commonly considered for medium-sized rooms, but capacity requirements are not determined by floor area alone. A room receiving direct afternoon sunlight, for example, may require a different cooling capacity from a shaded room of the same size.
Installation quality also affects performance. Incorrect positioning of the indoor unit, poor insulation, unsuitable piping and inadequate maintenance can affect cooling efficiency and electricity consumption.
For buyers planning to finance their purchase, Bajaj Finance has highlighted two options in its festive-season communication. The Easy EMI Loan offers financing of up to Rs. 5 lakh, while the Insta EMI Card carries a pre-approved limit of up to Rs. 3 lakh. Repayment tenures range from three to 60 months, with zero down payment available on select models. Eligibility, applicable charges and offer conditions should be checked before proceeding.
The comparison suggests that buyers have several choices across the 1.5-ton segment this Diwali, from lower-priced 3 Star models to higher-efficiency 5 Star alternatives. The most suitable purchase will ultimately depend on how frequently the AC is used, the room’s cooling requirements and the total cost of ownership rather than the festive discount alone.
