The new fridges will be available in 386-liter and 407-liter capacities in addition to the existing models that come in 244-litre, 265-litre, 314-litre, and 336-litre sizes. Both new models come with proprietary Samsung technologies, including Smart Convertible 5-in-1 Twin Cooling Plus and Digital Inverter. The devices also offer Stabilizer-free operation for better energy efficiency. Samsung’s Curd Maestro range of refrigerators are part of Samsung’s ‘Make for India’ innovations, and the company claims they will “revolutionize the conventional usage of a refrigerator (by) going beyond food preservation to food preparation.” The refrigerators reportedly follow the curd-making process recommended by ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI), Karnal.
Announcing the launch of the new models, Raju Pullan, the Senior VP of Consumer Electronics Business at Samsung India, said: “Our Curd Maestro Refrigerators have got a very positive response from consumers … We have witnessed an increasing demand for larger capacity models of our refrigerators as consumers want to stock up more and venture out less. To address the changing needs of consumers, we are introducing four new models of Curd Maestro Refrigerators and are confident that we will further strengthen our No. 1 position in the refrigerator category in India.”
