LG Electronics India on Thursday said it has sold over one million air-conditioners in the March quarter and that it reflects the strongest start to the summer season in the company’s history. It also said that it is expanding its AC manufacturing facility at Sri City in Andhra Pradesh.
The company said it launched its new BEE star-rated compliant AC line-up well ahead of the season to support the transition of retail partners and consumers. Hong Ju Jeon, Managing Director, LG Electronics India, said: “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.”
Sanjay Chitkara, Director & Co-Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, LG Electronics India, added, “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 AC performance and anticipate a stronger demand in Q2 of CY 2026 aided by the GST cuts on ACs.”
During the quarter, LG widened its AC line-up with new launches including 0.8 ton AC under its Essential Series and the 2 ton 5-star range that caters to the rapidly expanding premium home segment.This included introduction of a comprehensive fixed-speed AC portfolio spanning both window and split segments to capture demand across every price tier and consumer profile. The company added that GST reduction on air conditioners from 28 per cent to 18 per cent has been a structural game-changer for the industry, improving affordability and accelerating the democratisation of energy-efficient cooling across urban and semi-urban India.
Apart from domestic market, LGE India also exports its Made-in-India ACs to Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Southeast Asia, and so on.
