Good quality ceiling fans in India are essential. The India Meteorological Department (IMD)’s director has suggested that the summers in India 2024 from March to May 2024 will be hotter than usual. Maharashtra can start to feel the heat in April. According to some climate experts, by the year 2050, India’s climate temperature will cross the “survivability limits.” On the other hand, electricity too is only going to get expensive. So it’s better to buy a good quality BLDC fan now. But for that, you might need to know which are the top best fan brands in India in 2024. That’s exactly what this article is going to be about.
Best ceiling fan brands in India in 2024, comparison, price, quality & customer service – find it all below.
To compile this list of the best ceiling fan brands in India (2024), we have gone through several “expert articles” and to our disappointment, none of the articles seem to have taken into account the financials of these top ceiling fan brands.
Why are these financials important?
- Generally, the higher the market share a ceiling brand has, the more service centres availability they may have
- A ceiling fan company may claim to offer a 10-year warranty but can it sustain for that long if it’s not profitable? Quite an important thing to think about if you ask me
| Brand | Market Share (approx) | PAT (approx) |
| Crompton | 28% | ₹85.99 Cr |

| Usha | 13.5% | ₹100.8 Cr (Q1 FY24) |

| Polycab | 3% | ₹1282 Cr |
Note that the figures mentioned above are as of the year 2023 and are approx figures. We have collected the above data from several sources including official press releases, financial reports, etc.
It’s quite evident from the numbers that Crompton is currently the number 1 ceiling fan brand in India as of 2024, March followed by Havells India in 2nd number in terms of market share (19%).
Interestingly, I couldn’t find any article that tried to disclose the number of service centres & brand stores that those “top brands” they claimed, have. So we decided to search every nook & cranny of the internet, go through the latest financial reports by these brands and present this data on the number of service centres that the top ceiling fan brands in India have.

Moving on to our list of the best ceiling fans to buy in India, Havells is a brand name that is sure to arise. The brand has built a legacy of quality electronics since 1958. In India currently, Havells has over 15 manufacturing units and a strong retail presence of 2.2L (more than Crompton). In its latest financial report, when addressing how Havells handles customer complaints, the brand said, “We have established multiple lines of communications such as online service request, central helpline, WhatsApp support, App based interaction and email- id.”
Review:
The Havells Ambrose BLDC Fan is one of the best BLDC ceiling fans in India that comes with 100% pure copper wire, in-built voltage stabilization, a 32W power consumption, 350 RPM and a 1200mm sweep size. It is a little more expensive than Crompton and comes with only a 2-year warranty as opposed to 5 years in Crompton. Nevertheless, Havells boasts one of the best quality ceiling fans in India so you need not fret.
Price range: ₹2500 to ₹3300
Orient ranks in the number 3 position in terms of having the most market share in the fans segment in India. As compared to Havells, Orient has smaller sales revenue numbers. While Havells India’s PAT (Profit After Tax) stands at 1000 Crore, Orient has a PAT of approx 20 Crore (FY24). However, despite that, the brand has managed to build a large customer support base servicing over 450 cities and provides its service across 26 countries making it one of the largest exporters of fans in the country. With an experience of over 70 years in the fans market & being renowned for quality & durability, Orient is indeed one of the best ceiling fan brands in India in 2024 to choose from.
Review:
In our research, we found that generally Orient’s premium to upper-mid range fans have a more positive reviews ratio as compared to budget range fans. Specifically, the Orient’s Wendy series in BLDC fans on Flipkart seems to be more popular & widely appreciated. The Orient Electric Wendy BLDC fan comes with a 5 BEE Star rating, has an RPM of 350 and comes with a 3-year warranty. It is a little on the expensive side, but we can’t deny that it is one of the best BLDC ceiling fans in India. Here are some of our users sharing their reviews of their experience of using Orient fans.
Price range: ₹3500 to ₹4500
Atomberg is a name that needs no introduction when it comes to the best ceiling fan brands in India, especially BLDC fans. The company calls itself “The Tesla of India” and was started by two IIT-Bombay graduates, Mr Manoj & Mr Sibabrata in the year 2012. Atomberg is relatively a new name but the ceiling fan brand has taken no time to win the trust of 1M+ Indian consumers. Thanks to the company’s focus on making energy-efficient fans, high-performance & quality. It is one of the best ceiling fans brands in India to buy from especially if you live in tier 1 cities.

Usha is yet again one of the oldest electronics consumer durables brands in India that has roots dating back to 1935 even before Havells was founded. The company is a top name in the sewing machines market and makes some of the best quality ceiling fans in India. It took a little longer for Usha to enter into the BLDC market and the brand hasn’t flared so well as compared to its competitors. However, when it comes to non-BLDC ceiling fans, Usha still dominates the market. Usha has about 50+ brand stores and customer service is limited to online support. That’s quite a con that some people may feel. Nevertheless, it is still one of the best ceiling fans brands in India.
Review:
If you are planning to buy a good quality non-BLDC ceiling fan in India, you can very well consider the Usha Bloom Daffodil fan which comes with a 2-year warranty, 1250mm sweep size, 380 RPM & a 100% copper motor. However being a non-BLDC fan, the right price we feel should have been under 2.5K. So if you can get it around that price point, then it might be one of the best ceiling fans in India in 2024 (non-BLDC).
Price range: ₹3500 to ₹4000
Moving on to our list of the best ceiling fan brands in India, how can we miss out on Bajaj Electronics? The brand owns a roughly 7% market share in the country and is a leader in the mixers and grinders space. While the fans segment isn’t the strongest vertical of Bajaj in terms of the size of the distribution network, channel partners, and service centres, it still is one of the good quality fans brands to buy from. As per the annual report of the company in FY23, Bajaj received only 1.7% of customer complaints from fans and had a customer satisfaction score of 99%. Also, not to forget, it’s one of the few brands in the space to provide a 5-year warranty (on the motor). This makes Bajaj one of the top ceiling fan brands in 2024.
Review:
If you are looking to buy an affordable ceiling fan under 1500 rupees, the Bajaj Crest Neo ceiling fan comes with a 1-year warranty. Otherwise, the Bajaj Energos BLDC fan can also be considered if you can up your budget a bit more to buy a less power-consuming fan. It’s one of the most affordable BLDC fans in India and comes with a 2-year warranty.
Price range: ₹1500 to ₹3000
Luminous was founded in 1988 and is based out of Haryana. The brand has 35 years of experience in the electronics market and spans itself across 36 countries, 70M+ customers and a distribution network of 2900. Being known for its solar systems, batteries and home appliances, Luminous is an award-winning Ceiling fan brand in India that is amongst the best ones to shop from.
Review:
Luminous is owned by the parent company RR Kabel and has legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar as its brand ambassador. Coming to the quality of Luminous fans, they aren’t as popular as Crompton or Atomberg or Havells. The price is also on a little expensive side. So if you are spending a few bucks extra for a ceiling fan from Luminous, you can consider buying the Luminous Jaipur Mahal 1320mm ceiling fan (non-BLDC). As for customer service, the brand has 1 service centre in Mumbai, about 3-4 in Delhi, and 1 in Kolkata.
Luminous fans are better suited if you are from Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Assam and those regions as there are more service centres available there as compared to the west or south.
