The verdict
The Crompton Hi-Speed Torpedo is a 400 mm induction pedestal fan rated at 2,100 RPM and 105 CMM, ₹2,440 on Flipkart with a 2-year warranty and 4.0 stars from 521 ratings. It suits hot rooms that need a fast, strong breeze; the catch is a 125 W motor, the highest draw we found, and a light plastic build.
Best for
- Hot, stuffy rooms or kitchens where a fast, direct breeze matters more than the power bill
- Short daily use rather than all-night running
Skip it if
- You run a fan for many hours; 125 W is more than three times a 35 W BLDC fan
- You want a quiet bedroom fan; a 2,100 RPM motor and owner noise reports point the other way
- You want a sturdy, heavy stand
What we like
- 105 CMM rated air delivery at 2,100 RPM, the highest motor speed in our research (Crompton)
- ₹2,440 on Flipkart, about half Crompton's ₹4,699 list price
- 2-year warranty from the date of purchase (Crompton)
- Thermal overload protection and four colour options
What we don’t
- 125 W power draw, more than twice the Orient Stand 82 and over three times a BLDC fan
- Only 521 Flipkart ratings, with about 12% one-star
- Owners report a light, all-plastic build, motor noise developing after days and one unit that smoked
- Crompton's own copy says "105 mm coverage area", an obvious slip for 105 CMM

In this review
How we researched this
We have not used this fan. Specs and warranty come from Crompton’s Torpedo HS pedestal fan page, and price and ratings from the Flipkart listing and its reviews, read on 12 November 2026. We found no independent hands-on review.
We could not measure airflow, noise or power, and we could not open the Amazon.in listing. With only 521 Flipkart ratings and 41 written reviews, the owner evidence is thin.
What you get on paper
A 400 mm, three-blade induction pedestal fan built for speed. Crompton rates the motor at 2,100 RPM and 105 CMM, which is far quicker than the 1,330 to 1,350 RPM of the other 400 mm fans we researched. The price of that speed is 125 W of power. It has three speed buttons, oscillation, height adjustment and thermal overload protection, and comes in black, black-red, black-yellow and white.
What owners report
On Flipkart it has 4.0 stars from 521 ratings and 41 reviews: 259 five-star and 62 one-star (about 12%).
One owner calls the build “good and tough” and another, after two months, is happy with it. A third disagrees about the build, saying it is “very light weight”, parts keep “coming off” and “all materials are of plastic”, with airflow only “ok”. The negative reviews include motor noise that began after a few days and a unit that “smoked and spoiled” after two days of use.
Support and warranty
Crompton lists a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase, and the Flipkart listing title matches. Crompton’s page gives a contact number (9228880505) and support email. We did not test Crompton’s service ourselves.
Claims to treat with caution
- “105 mm coverage area” in Crompton’s description is clearly meant to be 105 CMM; the spec table says “105 cmm”.
- “Comprehensive cooling” is marketing; a fan moves air but does not lower the room temperature.
- ₹4,699 on Crompton’s site is the list price; Flipkart sold it for ₹2,440.
Should you buy it?
If you want the highest rated motor speed and airflow under ₹2,500 and will run it for a few hours at a time, the Torpedo’s specs are hard to beat. For all-night use the 125 W motor adds up: about 30 units a month at eight hours a day, roughly three and a half times a 35 W BLDC fan. The small owner base and reports of early failures make us cautious, so buy from a seller with an easy return window.

Questions buyers ask
How much electricity does the Crompton Hi-Speed Torpedo use?
Crompton and Flipkart both list 125 W. Eight hours a day for a month is about 30 units (kWh), against about 13 units for a 53 to 58 W fan like the Orient Stand 82 and about 8.4 units for a 35 W BLDC fan.
Is the Torpedo faster than a normal pedestal fan?
On paper, yes. Crompton rates it at 2,100 RPM and 105 CMM, while most 400 mm pedestal fans we researched list 1,330 to 1,350 RPM and 65 to 90 CMM. We have not measured it.
What warranty does it have?
Crompton lists 2 years from the date of purchase, and the Flipkart listing title matches. Crompton's page gives 9228880505 and consumer.support@crompton.co.in for support.
