The short answer
Use a 1200 mm ceiling fan wherever there is a ceiling to hang it from. Choose a pedestal fan when air must be aimed or the ceiling is too high, a farrata at 2800 RPM for workshops, godowns and kitchens that need strong air over distance, a table or cabin fan for counters and small rooms, and an exhaust fan to pull heat, fumes and moisture out.

Ceiling fans: the default for any room with a ceiling
A ceiling fan moves the most air for the least power because it pushes a wide column downward and outward to the corners. Both Cinni ceiling models, the Champ Ceiling Fan and the Fancy Series Ceiling Fan, have a 1200 mm sweep and draw 55 W.
A common trade rule of thumb is one 1200 mm fan for a room of about 10 by 12 feet. Larger rooms, classrooms and halls take several fans spaced evenly rather than one oversized fan, so every corner gets air.
Pedestal fans and farratas: air where you aim it
Pedestal fans stand where a ceiling fan cannot hang, or where air must be pointed at a counter, a stage or a work position. The Long and Mini pedestals run at 1900 RPM and the Tornado at 2100 RPM.
A farrata, or air circulator, is the high-velocity end of the range. The Farata Fan runs at 2800 RPM on 120 W, which throws air across a workshop floor, a godown aisle or a commercial kitchen where a domestic pedestal fan would barely register.
Table, personal and cabin fans: counters, desks and small rooms
Table fans sit on a counter or a desk and oscillate across it. The Shatabdi and Sigra each come in a Hi Speed tuning (1900 RPM, 100 W) for busy counters and workshops, and a Regular tuning (1350 RPM, 65 W) for offices, clinics and bedrooms where a fan runs all day. The Mini Table Fan and Minio Personal Fan are 250 mm fans for one person, and the Cabin Fan mounts on a wall in site cabins, kitchens and control rooms.
Exhaust fans: taking heat, fumes and moisture out
An exhaust fan does a different job from the others: it removes air instead of moving it around. The Exhaust Fan is a 225 mm fan running at 2700 RPM on 65 W, for kitchens, washrooms, laboratories, production areas and basements. In a hot workshop, an exhaust fan pulling hot air out paired with a farrata moving air across the floor works better than either alone.
What a fan costs to run
Running cost is power input multiplied by hours. A Champ Ceiling Fan at 55 W running 10 hours a day uses 16.5 units (kWh) a month. A Farata at 120 W uses 36.0 units over the same hours.
| Model | Input | Units a month | At ₹8 a unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Champ Ceiling Fan | 55 W | 16.5 | ₹132 |
| Long Pedestal Fan | 100 W | 30.0 | ₹240 |
| Farata Fan | 120 W | 36.0 | ₹288 |
| Shatabdi Table Fan, Hi Speed | 100 W | 30.0 | ₹240 |
| Shatabdi Table Fan, Regular | 65 W | 19.5 | ₹156 |
| Mini Table Fan | 60 W | 18.0 | ₹144 |
| Exhaust Fan | 65 W | 19.5 | ₹156 |
