Raj Cooling builds world’s largest air cooler, bags Guinness record with 16-foot ‘Roxxcool’
MUMBAI: Rajkot just got a little cooler—literally. Raj Cooling Systems Pvt. Ltd., the Gujarat-based manufacturer backed by The Great Khali, has claimed a Guinness World Record for creating the world’s largest air cooler. Towering at 16 feet, the industrial behemoth named Roxxcool made its official entry into the record books during a celebration held on 30 April 2025 at Krishna Park Resort in Rajkot.
The feat is more than just mechanical muscle. Roxxcool is powered by BLDC (Brushless Direct Current) technology and consumes only two units of electricity per two hours of operation, making it a low-impact solution for sprawling event spaces, tent setups, and factories.
Its stats are as massive as its frame: a 60-inch axial fan spinning at 400 RPM, powered by a 720W single-phase motor, all encased in dimensions of 305 x 244 x 487.5 cm. Add to that a 2,500-litre water tank, and you’ve got a cooling giant built to endure.
“Roxxcool, the world’s largest air cooler, is built for high-performance industrial cooling. Setting this world record is not just a milestone for our company, as it’s a moment of pride for the entire nation”, said Raj Cooling Systems chairman & MD Kalpesh Ramoliya. “The achievement also reflects our team’s relentless quest for excellence and commitment to leading the way in cooling technology innovation and serving with pride the ‘Make in India’ initiative”.
This isn’t the firm’s first moment in the spotlight. Raj Cooling Systems had earlier received recognition from the Golden Book of World Records, strengthening its stature as a serious global player in the industrial cooling segment.
With its record-breaking launch, Raj Cooling has not only redefined industrial cooling standards but also underscored India’s growing engineering prowess under the ‘Make in India’ initiative.

KKR sixes to power EV charger rollout under VIDA campaign
Cricket meets clean mobility as big hits spark India’s charging growth
NEW DELHI: VIDA, the electric mobility arm of Hero MotoCorp, has teamed up with Kolkata Knight Riders to launch a campaign that turns cricketing flair into real-world impact.
Titled ‘6 for 6’, the initiative promises to install a 6kW fast EV charger for every six hit by KKR during the ongoing Indian Premier League season. The idea is simple but powerful, as each big hit on the field contributes directly to expanding India’s fast-charging infrastructure.
The campaign builds on VIDA’s growing network, which already spans over 5,300 fast-charging points across more than 430 cities. With EV adoption gaining pace, the brand is using cricket’s mass appeal to accelerate both awareness and infrastructure growth.
Explaining the thinking behind the move, Hero MotoCorp emerging mobility business unit chief business officer Kausalya Nandakumar said, “Cricket has an incredible ability to unite and inspire millions across the country. With the ‘6 for 6’ campaign, we are turning every big hit on the field into a step towards a cleaner and a more accessible mobility future.”
She added that VIDA’s expanding fast-charging network and removable battery technology are designed to make EV ownership more convenient and practical for everyday users.
From the franchise’s side, the campaign is also about giving on-field moments a larger purpose. Kolkata Knight Riders chief executive officer Venky Mysore said, “The ‘6 for 6’ campaign exemplifies the potential of sport as a platform for meaningful, real-world impact. By linking every six to the expansion of EV charging infrastructure, this partnership transforms fan excitement into tangible progress.”
As part of the rollout, VIDA has introduced co-branded charging stations in KKR’s signature colours, with a flagship installation unveiled alongside team players. The chargers are designed for quick top-ups, powering VIDA scooters from zero to 80 percent in about an hour, while also being positioned along key highways to support longer journeys.
The initiative also taps into VIDA’s removable battery system, which allows users to charge using standard household plug points, adding flexibility to the charging ecosystem.
By blending the thrill of cricket with the urgency of clean mobility, VIDA and KKR have found a neat way to make every six count twice, once on the scoreboard and again on India’s road to an electric future.
