The world's lowest-cost refrigerator will be launched in March 2010.  

Godrej & Boyce is test marketing the 'nano' refrigerators, Chotukool (Little Cool) in a few towns in Maharashtra currently.

Chotukool does not have a compressor. It looks like a 43 litre cooler box, which is loaded from the top, and can run on battery. The refrigerator weighs only 7.8 kg, runs on a cooling chip and a fan similar to those used to cool computers.

Given the power shortage in the countryside, it also uses high-end insulation to stay cool for hours without power.

The operational cost is low: the refrigerator consumes half the power consumed by regular refrigerators.

It costs just Rs 3,250, which is almost 35 per cent less than the cheapest category of refrigerators available in the market today.
