Trading hours and restocking
Visits are scheduled with your operations team, away from trading hours and service-corridor peaks.
For building owners Mall or retail space
Trading hours end. The sanctioned load stays.
A mall is sanctioned for every tenant, every escalator and the whole chiller plant at once, and from 11 pm it draws a fraction of that. One back-of-house room or vacant unit may support an installation. An assessment and your agreement determine suitability, responsibilities and payment.
For malls and retail spaces
The chillers stop at 11. The fixed charges do not.
Retail load is set by the busiest Saturday in December: every anchor, every food-court exhaust, every escalator, the plant. Through the night the building draws nothing like it, and a unit that has been vacant since the last fit-out draws nothing at all. The sanctioned figure on the bill does not know any of that.
Where the room usually is
A back-of-house store on the service level, an old BMS or telecom room, a vacant kiosk-sized unit with its shutter down, or a room beside the fire control room that once held a tenant's stock. The good ones are on the mall's own meter, near the LT panel, and away from the trading floor.
What the load does
Sanctioned for every tenant trading at once, plus escalators, food-court exhaust and the chiller plant, and drawn that hard on a festival weekend. From closing until opening the draw is security lighting, a few chillers and the odd tenant restocking. Vacant units add to the spare directly: their share of the sanctioned load is on your bill and nobody is drawing it.
The assessment confirms the supply, tie-in and cooling an installation needs, and what your room can support.
Eligibility
Questions to answer first.
What decides whether a room in a mall or retail space can be assessed for an installation, and what the assessment then checks on site.
Before the assessment
Is the room on the mall's own connection, not a tenant's sub-meter?
Only the mall's own connection is a starting point for a landlord-held room.
Does anything cool the room after the chillers stop?
An installation runs around the clock, so the room needs cooling of its own that runs through the night.
Is the unit likely to be let soon?
A vacant unit can be a starting point, and letting plans shape what the agreement says about notice and removal.
What the assessment checks
- The metering point: the room must sit on the mall's own connection, not a tenant's sub-meter, and the assessment confirms which
- Panel headroom at the nearest LT panel for the tie-in an installation needs
- Cooling after closing: if the chiller plant stops at closing the room needs a unit of its own, sized for the installation, that runs through the night
- Fire NOC currency and where the room sits in the fire plan
- Tenant hours and access: service-corridor traffic, restocking hours, and a door that locks against all of it
The general guide to the initial requirements is on the owners page.
Operating considerations
Running an installation in a mall or retail space.
After-hours cooling
If the chiller plant stops at closing, the room needs a unit of its own, sized for the installation, running through the night.
Letting the unit
What happens when you let the unit, including notice and removal, is confirmed in your agreement.

Hosting model

The same illustration as on the owners page, opened at typical inputs for a mall or retail space. Its assumptions sit beside the result; the assessment and your agreement establish the actual terms.

Indicative pods from your room and power inputs
2
2 × 10 kW pods, 28.8 kW at the meter of your 60 kW
Counted from your room count and available power only. Room size and cooling are context for the assessment; they do not confirm that equipment fits.
- Base payment assumed in this example
- ₹9.74 La year, ₹81,167 a month
- Additional payment at the modelled duty Modelled, not yet measured
- ₹14.4 La year, ₹1.2 L a month
- Total in this example
- ₹24.14 La year, ₹2.01 L a month
- Rooms set the count: one pod per room that locks. Your load would carry 4 pods at 14.4 kW each at the meter.
Assumptions in this example
- Base payment: ₹4.87 L per pod per year.
- Additional payment: ₹7.2 L per pod per year at the modelled duty, capped at ₹15 L to ₹18 L per pod per year.
- One pod per room that locks, and about 14.4 kW of spare sanctioned load per pod at the meter.
- Electricity is not in these figures. How it is metered and settled is confirmed in your agreement.
- Model version: host-yield-v1.
- An illustration of the hosting model, not a site approval or a promised payment.
Illustrative model, not a site-specific offer or measured earnings. It applies to hosting for others; an installation for your own work needs its own proposal.
Questions mall and retail landlords ask.
What happens when we let the vacant unit?
Tell us about letting plans early. Notice, removal and how the unit is returned are confirmed in your agreement.
Does the mall's insurance change?
Tell your insurer early. Insurance arrangements for the installation are confirmed in your agreement.
Our chillers stop after closing. Where does the heat go at 2 am?
The installation runs around the clock and is air-cooled, so the room needs cooling that runs through the night too. The assessment sizes it.
Will shoppers or tenants ever see or hear it?
It sits in a locked back-of-house room or a shuttered unit, and visits are scheduled with your operations team.
Property assessment
Start with your mall.
The form starts with “Mall or retail space” as the building type, and you can change it. A location and a short description are enough to start.
