LG Electronics India (LGE India) has announced a significant achievement by selling over 1 million air conditioners in the first quarter of 2026 (Q1 CY26). This marks the company's fastest and strongest start to a summer season in India, reinforcing its market leadership.
The company attributes this success to its early launch of new BEE star-rated compliant ACs and an effective marketing campaign during the ICC World Cup. Mr. Hong Ju Jeon, Managing Director, LG Electronics India, stated that India is a strategically vital market and the company is investing heavily in innovation, distribution, localization, and expanding its AC manufacturing facility in Sri City to support the 'Make in India' initiative.
Mr. Sanjay Chitkara, Director & Co-Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, highlighted the focus on advanced, energy-efficient cooling solutions, including a premium AC range with Energy Manager Plus. The company anticipates stronger demand in Q2 CY2026, partly due to GST cuts on ACs. LGE India has broadened its AC portfolio with options like the 0.8-ton Essential Series for compact spaces and a 2.0-ton 5-star range for the premium segment, alongside a comprehensive fixed-speed AC portfolio.
The 2026 AC range features smart capabilities such as PreCool for remote activation and HimClean for internal auto-cleaning. Energy Manager Plus provides real-time power consumption data. The ACs offer up to 5300W cooling capacity and 6300W maximum capacity, with a 6-in-1 Convertible Cooling technology. The recent GST reduction on air conditioners from 28% to 18% is expected to further boost affordability and demand.
LGE India also exports its 'Made-in-India' ACs to countries including Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bangladesh.
