A decade after India gained independence, Godrej launched the country’s first refrigerator. A product of Mr. Naoroji Pirojsha Godrej’s vision, the Model 9 refrigerate was a 7 cubic feet model. It featured a half freezer and automatic temperature control. The casing was white enamel and the interiors were lined with porcelain for easy cleaning. General Electric Company (GE of USA) had supplied the refrigeration unit; but this changed by 1962, when even the mechanical components were manufactured in India
