Yes, growth market. Race Course Road (390015), Alkapuri (390007) and Old Padra Road (390015) office buildings plus petrochemical company townships (Reliance, Gujarat Refinery, IOCL, GSFC) drive commercial VRV/VRF demand. Quote per-kW: Daikin VRV ₹35,000-₹65,000/kW; Mitsubishi Electric City Multi ₹40,000-₹75,000/kW; Hitachi Set Free ₹32,000-₹60,000/kW; LG Multi V ₹30,000-₹55,000/kW. ISHRAE-certified design required.
GST 18% on AC installation labour (SAC 995468). Materials: 28% on split AC, window AC (HSN 8415) as luxury; 18% on commercial VRV/VRF central plant components and chillers. Show HSN codes, GSTIN and CGST/SGST split. B2B clients reclaim input tax credit.
Wall-split installations run roughly ₹10,500-500 per kW installed. A 5kW unit fully installed is ₹62,000-3,200; a 12kW multi-head system is ₹1,72,000-9,000. Ducted systems run ₹24,000-1,200 per kW because of the ducting work.
Heat-load rule of thumb: 0.15kW per square metre in moderate climates, 0.20kW in hot climates. A 25sqm bedroom needs 4-5kW; a 50sqm open-plan needs 7-9kW. Over-sized units short-cycle and waste energy; under-sized never cool the room. Insist on a heat-load calc for any install over ₹1,03,000.
For installs over ₹69,000, get 2-3 quotes. Compare brand, capacity, warranty, refrigerant type, and install detail. The cheapest quote often uses budget brands with 3-year warranties vs branded units with 5-7 year warranties for 10-20% more.
Wall splits are individual units, cheaper, easier to install, each room independent. Ducted is one outdoor unit with hidden roof-space ducting to all rooms, more expensive but cleaner aesthetic and centralised control. Wall splits cost half what ducted does for the same total kW.
A standard 5kW wall-split install is 4-6 hours for a 2-person team. Multi-head and ducted systems take 2-3 days. Larger commercial or ceiling-cassette installs take 4-5 days.
