The new range includes a completely revamped series of Room Air Conditioners (RA) compliant with the latest BEE 2026 Star Rating standards, and the pioneering VRV Alpha series, which integrates advanced AI and IoT capabilities into Daikin’s patented VRV technology.” He further added, “With 3 factories powering our growth, Daikin takes a major step forward in strengthening its leadership in the industry, catering to the growing demand for cutting-edge, eco-friendly air-conditioning solutions.”
On this occasion, Mr. Kuldeepak Virmani, Senior Vice President & Executive Director, Daikin India said, “With India experiencing strong and sustained growth, we are poised to accelerate our expansion across West Bengal, adopting a more aggressive approach to strengthen our market presence. The launch of new products is a strategic move in Daikin’s mission to enhance its market share and industry leadership. Our commitment remains steadfast in delivering an exceptional consumer experience, backed by a highly skilled sales, service, and maintenance network, supported by our dedicated dealer partners and employees. The East market has remained flat in the last year, and Daikin India predicts it to be an INR 1800 crores by 2026, prompting us to launch a host of new products & increase our dealer network extensively. With robust infrastructure & housing development, we are witnessing a high demand for smart & energy efficient air-conditioning solutions. We have close to 20% market share in West Bengal and are planning to invest in heavy marketing & promotions across the state to secure 21% market share over the next 12 months.”
Industry reports anticipate a robust increase of 18-20% in residential air conditioner (RAC) volumes for FY26, highlighting substantial growth potential. This is attributed to the current low adoption rate, which stands at only 7-9% among total urban Indian households, significantly lower than the 90% observed in developed nations. Moreover, consumers are increasingly seeking energy-efficient products with a reduced total cost of ownership. Daikin remains dedicated to environmental responsibility, and the new plant in Sri City incorporates eco-friendly practices in line with the company’s commitment to sustainability. The facility is designed to minimize environmental impact through energy-efficient processes and waste reduction initiatives, aligning with Daikin’s global vision for a greener future.
