flag Indian AC prices to rise 5%-15% in 2026 due to higher costs and new efficiency rules, despite strong demand.

flag Indian room air conditioner prices are rising 5% to 15% between February and April 2026 due to higher copper costs, a weaker rupee, increased freight charges, and new energy-efficiency standards. flag Major manufacturers including Daikin, LG, Haier, Blue Star, Voltas, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries have announced price hikes, with increases varying by brand and model efficiency. flag The new Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) standards, effective January 2026, make 5-star models 10% more efficient. flag Despite higher prices, strong sales are expected due to forecasts of a hotter summer and growing demand for energy-efficient units, with industry leaders projecting at least 15% sales growth in 2026 after a weak 2025.
