This achievement underscores LG India's operational efficiency and supply chain agility, reinforcing its position as a leader in the Indian air conditioner market.A key factor in this success was the company’s early launch of its new, BEE star-rated AC line-up, facilitating a seamless transition to energy-efficient products.

Mr. Sanjay Chitkara, Director & Co-Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, LG Electronics India added, “We are focused on delivering advanced, energy-efficient cooling solutions tailored for domestic and global consumers.
