Industry reports anticipate a robust increase of 20-25% in residential air conditioner (RAC) volumes for FY25, 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.
Daikin India’s, now operationalised new facility at Sri City, Andhra Pradesh, spread across 75.5 acres mirrors its commitment for excellence and innovation; strategically positioned to cater to the increasing demand for state-of-the-art air conditioning products manufactured in India, for domestic and international consumption. Daikin notably is the principal investor in the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) program in the air-conditioning category, implemented by the government to encourage domestic production of air conditioners.
Mr. Shiv Kumar commented, "The commercial launch of our new manufacturing plant in Sri City marks a significant milestone for Daikin, reinforcing our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and growth in India. This state-of-the-art facility is set to enhance our production capabilities, ensuring a stronger supply chain and a more efficient, energy-conscious approach to HVAC solutions. With this expansion, 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. More than just increasing capacity, this investment reflects our long-term vision—to drive excellence, foster strategic partnerships, and contribute to India’s evolving industrial landscape, ensuring shared success for all stakeholders."
The Indian Government’s Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme has been instrumental in boosting localization within the RAC industry, encouraging substantial indigenization of approximately 75% over the next three to four years through ongoing backward integration efforts by industry players.
