Panasonic Life Solutions India announced that it registered 50 per cent Y-O-Y growth in residential air conditioner sales during the 2026 summer season, recording its highest-ever summer sales in India. The strong performance was driven by robust consumer demand across metro as well as Tier II and Tier III markets, supported by increasing preference for premium inverter air conditioners, connected cooling solutions and energy-efficient technologies.

The milestone reflects Panasonic's continued focus on delivering innovative cooling solutions tailored to Indian consumers, backed by a growing portfolio of inverter and smart air conditioners, localized manufacturing, an expanding network reach, and a strong after-sales service ecosystem. Building on this momentum, Panasonic remains focused on strengthening its air conditioning business in India, reinforcing the country's growing importance in the company's global air conditioning strategy.
