Bijlibacho is a good website and their recommendation of 2T is apt for delhi. In places like mumbai or bangalore where ambient temp is not more than 35 degrees even in peak summer, you can get away even with a 1 Ton ac however Delhi is a different ball game all together. In peak summer, temperatures can go as high as 48-49 degrees and you being in the top most floor does not help much. Do not fall for the marketing gimmicks of AC manufacturers when they talk about tons. Better method to measure the capacity of ac is BTU. Let me give you an example.
O general AC's are considered best in the business when it comes to delhi due to much highter BTU than competitors. a 1.5 TON Ogenreal AC churns out 19,500 BTU however some LG's models even claim 16,500 BTU as 1.5 Ton. even if you end up buying 1.5T , do buy the AC's with higher BTU's.
If your budget is 50k then by all means go for sharp inverter 1.5 T. it's an amazing piece of tech which will amaze you with the power savings.

Yes. But at 48-49 degrees Sharp AC may not work. 
Buy General for extreme conditions. They work best in the middle-east.

I have used two of O general and one of Samsung and haier.. First o general is not cooling anymore since last summer, but was working fine from over 19 years. Didn't got it checked as of yet for the issue.
For other o general, no problem since last 5-7 years.
For Samsung, it was kind of okay, worked satisfactory for 4-5 yrs and then sold off to buy o general instead.
For haeir, crop is all I can say.
Out of these, o general gives better cooling than others.
I am using g non inverter one

i live in noida and here water hardness is very high as compared to delhi and this is the main reason my ac died. My split indoor unit gas leaked from wrong side and there was no issues with the outdoor unit. I could have changed my indoor unit with Napoleon/Totaline but that was costing me 13-14k including fitting and gas filling. Another option was to replace the indoor coil from daikin service centre for which they quoted close to 15k for everything.
I sold it off for 6000.
I can still say daikin quality is too good! I have not had any issues with the cooling. I live on top floor with heating coming from top floor and side wall. You can go for either of the two, you wont be disappointed!
Whatever fits you budget, go for it!
My suggestion for price check would be from Justdial. I have bought 2 General Ac from justdial only on Cash on delivery and i must say that i got a very good deal! Check the prices, i am sure you will be amazed to see the prices!
For some reference – I bought 1 ton split general @ 29k with free shipping
and 1.5 ton window general @ 29990 with free shipping
Split got installed from o general people.
PS. - Both daikin and general doesnot come with Cooper tubes and 4 core wire. They will charge separately for these things!

Off the many brands i have used, My experience with sharp has been extremely good. There is a sharp window unit installed in my delhi home from last 4 years and it has not seen a single service however still works perfectly fine each summer with very good cooling. Last year installed a 1 ton inverter AC in my chennai home and it has been working perfectly. Cooling is at par with daikin but one domain where sharp inverter shines is power savings. electricity bills have gone down by 50% since i have switched to sharp. Planning to replace all my split ac's with inverter ac's this year.

Are you sure that Daikin does not provide copper pipes etc, ? I asked at vijay sales for the Daikin 1.5 ton inverter model , they said it comes with 3 meter copper pipe & power cable .

It depends from seller to seller..
Some of them remove from the selling price to just show low price..

Guys, once I have seen that, Videocon used to sell ac's at 15k ( no matter which model). That pieces had little bit damages while manufacturing and some had more damages were 13k.. No warranty no replacement.. From there warehouse, next to there manufacturing unit.. Known as Videocon seconds.
I want to know does daikin nd o general also sell like these.?

They may be having some sale channel for the same but it is difficult to find that information.I would not recommend buying an ac that has defects especially from indian brands whose best quality products can be, at best, called as average. If you are from Delhi, head to karol bagh market. There is a section in the market where they sell imported General AC's with reciprocating compressor. Even though it is not as power efficient as rotary compressors but are extremely good at cooling. Almost all brands in india sell ac's with rotary compressors. In middle east, they still stick to good old reciprocating compressor AC's which can withstand very high ambient temperature.
Some of the local brands in Delhi like Napoleon is equipped with reciprocating compressor.
