LG Electronics is accelerating its push to become a 'national brand' in India by introducing products and component solutions optimized for the local market.

On March 15, LG Electronics announced that it participated in the HVAC exhibition "ACREX 2026," held in Mumbai, India from the 12th, where it showcased comprehensive HVAC solutions encompassing both finished products and key components.

For the first time, LG Electronics set up a dedicated booth for component solutions in addition to its existing air conditioner and HVAC product display zone at this exhibition. This move is based on the expectation that local demand for home appliances will surge due to rapid economic growth.

The newly unveiled compressor products have been designed with durability, high efficiency, and cooling and refrigeration capabilities, taking into account the unstable local power grid, harsh climate conditions, and increasingly stringent energy efficiency regulations imposed by local authorities.

The new compressors for refrigeration and freezing applications are designed to minimize shocks caused by sudden stops during power outages, thereby enhancing durability. In addition, by adopting high-efficiency and compact designs, they achieve industry-leading energy efficiency while reducing size by more than 10% compared to previous models, allowing for increased storage space in refrigerators.

LG Electronics also unveiled a wide range of compressor products, from 1 to 2 refrigeration tons (RT) models, which are used in Indian household air conditioners, to 27RT models, which are mainly used in commercial air conditioning systems.

The company also introduced HVAC solutions tailored to the Indian market. A notable example is the large-capacity system air conditioner (VRF), "MULTI V 5," which can operate stably across India's diverse climatic zones.

In October last year, LG Electronics' Indian subsidiary announced its vision to become a national company in India during its stock listing ceremony, unveiling a localization strategy. The major components for India, including the newly introduced products, are also manufactured directly at local factories. Following factories in Noida and Pune, the company is currently constructing a third production base in Sri City, which is scheduled to begin operations in the second half of this year.

According to global market research firm IMARC, the Indian air conditioner market was valued at 6.15 billion dollars last year. From this year, it is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 15%, reaching approximately 21.59 billion dollars by 2034.

Jeon Hongjoo, President of LG Electronics India, stated, "Through innovative component solutions optimized for the Indian market, we aim to establish ourselves as a trusted business partner for corporate clients and further advance as a national company in the B2B sector."
