MOFSL expects healthy growth across LG Electronics India's television, washing machine and air-conditioner businesses. It said the company's premiumisation strategy, new product launches and wider SKU offerings should support revenue growth. The brokerage also noted that LG Electronics India has announced a 5-6% price hike in air conditioners from October 1, while prices of other product categories are expected to remain largely stable.
