“Crossing 1 million AC sales in a single quarter is not just a commercial milestone – it is a powerful statement of the trust that millions of consumers place in LG every day. 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,” Hong Ju Jeon, Managing Director, LG Electronics India, said in a statement.

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, Sanjay Chitkara, Director & Co-Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, LG Electronics India, said.

The Government of India’s landmark 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, the company said.

Apart from domestic market, LGE India also exports its Made-in-India ACs to Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Southeast Asia, etc.
