LG Electronics announced plans to establish a new home appliance manufacturing facility in India, further strengthening its presence in this rapidly expanding market. The plant, located in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh, an industrial hub in the eastern part of the country, will be inaugurated with a ceremony attended by local officials, including Nara Lokesh, the Minister for Human Resources Development of Andhra Pradesh, as well as key LG Electronics executives, including President Lyu Jae-cheol, head of the home appliance division.
The $600 million investment will allow the factory to begin production by the end of 2026. The facility will be capable of producing 800,000 refrigerators, 850,000 washing machines, 1.5 million air conditioners, and 2 million air conditioner compressors annually. This new plant will be LG Electronics’ third manufacturing site in India, joining existing facilities in Noida (Uttar Pradesh) and Pune (Maharashtra).
The Sri City plant is expected to function as a major manufacturing hub for India and surrounding regions, including the Middle East and Bangladesh. LG Electronics highlighted that this new facility will strengthen its local supply chain and bolster its position as a leader in India’s growing consumer durables market. “The establishment of the Sri City plant marks a significant step in LG Electronics’ efforts to become a truly national brand in India,” said Lyu. “With innovative products produced through a stronger local supply chain, we will solidify our leadership as India’s top home appliance brand.”
