In the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) sector, cold storage refers to a system used for storing temperature-sensitive products or materials at a controlled temperature to prevent them from perishing. These storage units are commonly used in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.

The use of cold storage has increased in India over the last few decades due to several factors, including the growth of the food processing industry, the increase in demand for temperature-sensitive products, and the need to prevent spoilage and waste. Additionally, advancements in technology and the availability of energy-efficient systems have made cold storage more accessible and cost-effective.

The use of cold storage in India has also been driven by government initiatives to improve food safety and reduce wastage. For example, the Indian government has launched several schemes such as the National Cold Chain Development Programme (NCCDP) to support the development of cold storage infrastructure and increase the efficiency of the supply chain for perishable commodities.

Overall, cold storage plays a vital role in ensuring the availability of safe and high-quality products and materials and is becoming increasingly important in the Indian HVAC sector.
