This coupled with Panasonic’snanoe™X and nanoe^TMG technologies,helps ensure a healthy indoor AQI by eliminating PM2.5 particulate matter, dust particles, bacteria, and viruses.

·         Quality and Reliabilityareguaranteedthrough technologies such as inverter,ECOTOUGH, ShieldBlu+,ECONAVI (for energy optimisation), AG Clean+, Crystal Cleanto name a few.

·         Connectivity for smart living comes with technologies such as Matter -an open-source connectivity standard that enables seamless interoperability across smart devices,powered by Miraie – Panasonic’s connected living platform and True AI (Artificial Intelligence – automatically adjusts the AC settings/parameters for comfort cooling).Delivering on its ‘Make in India’ commitment,all Panasonic ACs are manufactured at our Technopark plant in Haryana.
