Dixon Technologies, BPL, Onida, LG India, Whirlpool shares in focus today; here's why 

Shares of Dixon Technologies, BPL, Onida, LG India and Whirlpool are in focus today as a PTI report said leading appliances and consumer electronics makers will raise prices of air conditioners, LED TVs, washing machines and other products by 5 per cent to 8 per cent, effective from October 1. The price hike is attributed to the rise in inputs of soaring metals such as copper, steel, crude derivatives as well as currency exchange volatility due to the ongoing West Asia crisis, a PTI report said.

Dixon Technologies, BPL, Onida , LG India and Whirlpool are the leading listed players of air conditioners, LED TVs and washing machines in India.

This would mark the industry’s third price hike in 2026. Manufacturers have attributed the latest increase to persistent inflation in key raw materials, including copper, aluminium, steel and crude oil derivatives, along with rising freight costs.

They said the continued rise in input and logistics expenses has left them with little choice but to raise prices further.

Prices of air conditioners are set to gain 5-8 per cent with some players also expected to raise prices of washing machines, refrigerators and LED TVs by 3-4 per cent.

Companies such as Blue Star, Godrej Appliance, Haier, Daikin, and Super Plastronics have raised prices from 4-10 per cent across categories, while Panasonic said it was still evaluating the situation before deciding on any increase.
