Bajaj Shield Series New Shakti 25L is one of the longest-warranty residential geysers sold in India: 10 years inner tank, 6 years heating element, 4 years overall product. That is genuinely longer than typical mid-market specs.
A 10-year tank warranty matters only if claims get serviced quickly. V-Guard's Kerala service network is denser; Bajaj is solid but more national-generic. If you want both — a long warranty AND fast service in Kollam — V-Guard ECH (8-year tank) is a strong middle ground.
