₹35,000 is where a proper inverter split AC becomes affordable — but at 1 ton, not 1.5 ton. Lloyd's GLS12I3AGGSR at ₹33,490 and Voltas' 123INV Vectra Elegant at ₹33,000 are both 1 ton 3-star inverter splits with convertible modes, and they are far cheaper to run than the window units below them.

For a 1.5 ton room on this budget, the choice is a window AC: Lloyd's GLW18I3AGSPR is an inverter window unit at ₹32,990, and Voltas' 182FS Elite is a fixed-speed one at ₹31,000. No 1.5 ton split AC we compare was under ₹35,000 at brand-store prices.

Prices here are brand-store and retailer prices checked in September 2026. Amazon and Flipkart often undercut them in sale weeks — use the buy links on each product to compare.
