Honestly you wont find any option in 60k for 670l so either reduce your requirement size or increase your budget to 80-90k. Also 670l wont fit in the area mentioned. The width needs to be larger.
Alrite, I remembered old refrigerator was around 50K but it was bought for 74K from Croma confirmed now.
So will have to increase budget upto 80K approx.
It wasn’t a fridge but rather a uhd tv. The tv had developed a few dead pixels within the warranty period almost at the end of the warranty period. Luckily some days of warranty was left so I claimed the warranty. The whole procedure for claiming the warranty was very tedious. I had to talk to the customer care multiple times. They would schedule an inspection and the engineer used to never come and mark from their side as found the address locked. This happened twice. Then I had to file a complain through consumer helpline and got the redressal done within a week without me having to call them again.
This whole fiasco made hisense a blacklisted brands for me and I would never purchase/recommend any electronics from them
Thank YOu for this suggestion. Doesnt matters if unable to 670L
Model you suggested cannot fit, width is 91 cm while existing fridge
Width: 836 mm

I have updated the first post with power saving guidelines.. there is much difference in annual power consumption too.
The energy guidlines have changed, the fridge you had would fall under 4 star or 5 star rating according to current guidelines.
The 2020 model of the fridge you had has got 2 star rating.
in that case I would suggest you to buy the same model you have. The newer models are typically wider or you would have to down size to 600l maybe even 550l
I dont know any website that lists dimension as filter but you can use Gemini or chatpgpt for initial search and then do further research on the shortlisted model.
