BusinessAppliance Prices to Rise Up to 8% from October 1 Ahead of Festivals
Leading appliance makers in India will increase prices of air conditioners, LED TVs, washing machines, and other products by 5-8% starting October 1 due to rising costs of metals like copper, steel, crude derivatives, and currency volatility from the West Asia crisis. This marks the third price hike in 2026 amid sustained inflation and higher freight costs. Some products may see smaller increases of 3-4%.
