LG Electronics India is looking to scale up air conditioner (AC) production through its upcoming Sri City plant this year to cater to increasing demand of cooling products in India. The company said that it sold over one million ACs in the first quarter of the current calendar year (Q1CY26).
Company highlighted that the growth was driven by LGE India’s first-mover advantage with regards to introducing its new BEE star-rated compliant AC line-up well ahead of the season. Complementing this, LGE India’s marketing campaign during the ICC World Cup also delivered great reach and consumer engagement at scale, the company claimed.
“India is one of LG’s most strategically vital markets globally and this result reflects the depth of our commitment to our consumers, our partners and to India’s sustainable development. We are investing heavily in innovation, distribution, localisation and are expanding our AC manufacturing facility in Sri City to reinforce our commitment to the ‘Make in India’ initiative,” stated Hong Ju Jeon, Managing Director, LG Electronics India.
During the quarter, LG significantly broadened its AC line-up, with 0.8 tonne AC under its essential series and the two tonne five-star range catering to India’s rapidly expanding premium home segment.
“Building on this momentum, we are focused on delivering advanced, energy-efficient cooling solutions tailored for domestic and global consumers. Our premium AC range with energy manager plus, better capacities and a more comprehensive portfolio cater to Indian consumers’ diverse needs across segments. We are highly motivated with our first quarter ACs performance and anticipate a stronger demand in Q2 of CY2026 aided by the GST cuts on ACs,” highlighted Sanjay Chitkara, Director & Co-Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, LG Electronics India.
