LG
LG is under cost pressure, planning a 5–7% AC price increase from 1 October 2026 as copper, steel, aluminium, logistics and energy costs rise (ET Small Business, 28 Sept). Cumulative hikes of 16–18% in some categories weigh on festive demand (Business Today, 28 Sept).
What it means Rivals Voltas, Daikin and Godrej are raising prices alongside LG, so appliance shoppers face higher prices across brands before Diwali.
