Orient is the heritage design and IoT specialist — PSPO inventor since 1954, with Aeroquiet design awards and Aeroslim Wi-Fi/voice-assistant fans. CG is the 2026 consumer re-launch from CG Power (Murugappa Group). For award-winning design or smart-home control, Orient; for Murugappa-backed engineering on a fresh consumer line, CG.

Aeroquiet won several industrial-design awards and Aeroslim was one of the earliest Indian ceiling fans with Wi-Fi and voice-assistant integration. For a smart-home or interior-design-led project, Orient is genuinely differentiated.
CG Power's 2026 consumer re-launch leverages Murugappa Group's industrial-motor heritage. Buyers backing a Murugappa-engineered consumer fan get current-generation motor tech without the premium-brand mark-up of design specialists. Trade-off: less long-term consumer-reliability data on the new SKU range.
Ensol is the authorised distributor for this brand in Kollam district, Kerala — same-day home delivery and on-site installation support.
Buyers who want a Murugappa Group / CG-branded fan and prefer a fresh-engineered consumer line.
Honest limits: New consumer launch — long-term reliability data limited; SKU range narrower than incumbents while the line scales.
Design-conscious buyers and smart-home users wanting voice-controlled fans.
Honest limits: Smaller dealer footprint than Crompton/Havells in some Kerala towns; Premium IoT models priced above mass-market.
For a premium master bedroom or living room where voice / app control adds real comfort, yes. For everyday bedroom use, value-tier BLDC (CG or Orient ECOTECH) is more than sufficient.
Orient is sold via authorised dealers in major Kerala towns. Ensol stocks CG (CG Power, Murugappa Group); for Orient consult their dealer locator.
No. Different companies since the 2016 demerger. "CG" today = CG Power and Industrial Solutions (Murugappa Group). "Crompton" = Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals (CGCEL). Ensol stocks the CG brand.
