I am from Pune. My room size is approx. 14*12*10 (5th floor in 6 floor building) with one NE facing window and max 2-4 people in it (1 TV & 1 tubelight). Please help me in choosing the right a.c.

I plan to use it about 6-8 hrs daily (approx 1200 hrs/year). If the a.c. uses very less electricity, I don't mind using it longer. My budget is < 40k and i plan to keep it 6-7 yrs atleast).

Which type of a.c. suits my requirement – inverter or non inverter 5 star ?
Since I want to keep the a.c for long, won’t it be better if I chose inverter technology ?

As per my room size I guess a non inv model should be at least 1.2 T. Therefore, buying a 1.5T a.c should be a waste of money. Now, for inv a.c. would 1T be enough for me ? I am not sure how to calculate this for inverter a.c. Price difference between 1T & 1.5T is big.

I hard Sharp inverter ACs are good by I didnnt hear much of sharp before. Not sure about its service.

Please suggest what type a.c is best for my requirements & suggest some models.
Also can you plz give an idea how much jump in electricity bills/month will i notice?

Sharp is certainly the best you can get. They are both efficient and low on bill. And other option that you can try is O'General.
