After more than 25 years of providing people in India with innovative products, LG has become a household name in the country by building its reputation as the top producer of home appliances. Last year, the company was even named by TRA Research as the Most Trusted Brand in the refrigerator and washing machine categories as well as the air conditioner and microwave oven categories, which not only suggests LG India has retained trust and leadership, but also enhanced its portfolio in this vital market.

So, to perform its duties as an industry leader while reaffirming its commitment to the government’s ‘Make in India’ mission, LG has invested a total of approximately 24 million USD to open a new manufacturing line for its premium side-by-side refrigerators in Pune, India.

Launched in 2014 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the ‘Make in India’ initiative encourages companies to manufacture products in India in an effort to transform the nation into a global design and manufacturing hub. With the Indian government hopeful of this move being a game changer for the local economy, many companies have already announced their strong support for the movement. For LG, it’s been less of a dramatic shift in production as the company is already manufacturing most of its products at two plants located in Pune and Greater Noida, India.

Adding a new line to LG’s Pune facility is not only a step forward for transforming India’s self-reliance for the better, but also for addressing the country’s growing consumer demand and expanding the company’s portfolio here. Last year, the United Nations reported that India is set to surpass China as the world’s most populous country in 2023. Moreover, according to

, people under the age of 25 account for more than 40 percent of India’s population. Powered by its demographic advantage, some analysts say that India has the potential to become one of the world’s largest economies in terms of purchasing power. Strengthening LG’s position as the top home appliance maker, this initiative will give a welcome boost to the brand’s product leadership.

Equipped with advanced technologies and machineries, the upgraded Pune campus can produce 200,000 side-by-side refrigerator units every year as well as a large number of double-door and single-door refrigerators.

To celebrate the occasion, LG held an offline event on January 17 with Lee Hyun-uk, senior vice president and head of the Kitchen Solution business unit of LG Electronics Home Appliance and Air Solution Company, Jeon Hong-ju, managing director at LG Electronics India, Ji Hyoung-sub, director of Home Appliances & Air Conditioners at LG Electronics India, as well as other senior executives, influential journalists and representatives of key trade partners.

Here, attendees could witness the unveiling of side-by-side refrigerators manufactured in India and enjoy an exclusive tour of the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.

Also, the local manufacturing line has not gone unnoticed by the Government of India. In a letter addressed to LG India, Shri Piyush Goyal, the Minister of Commerce & Industry, praised the company for aligning so well with the ‘Make in India’ initiative and commended it for its strong contribution towards a ‘New India.’

      Featuring Broadcast-Grade Technology and Seamless Camera Compatibility,
      Company’s LED Solution Sets a New Standard for K-Content Creation at StudioCube

      SEOUL, Dec. 9, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) has announced that its dedicated virtual production (VP) LED solution is powering the newly opened “Studio V,” a cutting-edge VP stage located within StudioCube in Daejeon, South Korea. StudioCube is the country’s largest public filming facility, and Studio V now stands as one of the world’s largest volume VP studios, reinforcing Korea’s growing momentum in next-generation content production and strengthening its global presence in the entertainment market.
      The opening ceremony, held on December 3 and hosted by the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA), brought together key government officials, including senior representatives from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Mayor of Daejeon. Their participation signaled national support for initiatives like Studio V that push the boundaries of technological innovation in the creative content sector.
      Studio V: A New Benchmark for Large-Scale Virtual Production
      Purpose-built for high-end filmmaking and immersive virtual environments, Studio V features a massive J-shaped main large-scale LED walls, which support an installation of up to 8 meters high and 60 meters wide. To accommodate diverse shooting requirements, it also offers a height-adjustable ceiling screen and mobile side walls. The ceiling system includes three independent motorized LED sections capable of vertical movement and tilting.
      At the heart of Studio V’s LED volume is LG’s purpose-built VP LED solution (model LBCJ026), engineered to deliver broadcast-ready performance with a 7,680Hz refresh rate and a 1/8 scan structure, minimizing visual artifacts such as flickering to ensure flawless camera capture. It achieves 99.07 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut, supports deep blacks and high-end HDR and delivers realistic, high fidelity digital environments. The display’s ultra-lightweight 5.9-kilogram modules feature precision lock systems that enable smooth screen curvature between -5 to +10 degrees.
      Supporting the full content-creation workflows, LG’s portfolio also includes LG OLED Pro professional monitors, widely used in production, color grading and post-production for their exceptional color accuracy and consistency.
      Collaboration for Production-Ready Performance
      To create a fully integrated and production-ready environment, LG worked closely with Brompton Technology, a global leader in LED video processing. Through joint optimization of system architecture, color calibration and real-time rendering performance, the partnership ensured seamless synchronization between LED displays and video processors, enabling Studio V to meet global broadcast standards and integrate smoothly with industry-standard production equipment.
      Beyond technical excellence, LED-based VP offers substantial environmental and operational benefits. By replacing large-scale physical sets with real-time 3D environments, the technology dramatically reduces material waste and carbon emissions while offering on-set advantages such as real-time visualization and faster, more efficient shooting schedules.
      Driving the Future of Immersive Content Creation
      LG continues to strengthen its leadership in VP technology by combining decades of display innovation with hands-on production experience. At the company’s North American headquarters in New Jersey, LG operates its own VP studio equipped with the LG MAGNIT micro LED display, producing commercial content in collaboration with its global in-house creative agency, HSAD. This direct engagement with real-world production workflows provides valuable insight that fuels continuous refinement of LG’s VP technology.
      “Virtual production is reshaping the future of content creation, and LG is committed to driving this shift,” said Nicolas Min, head of the Information Display Business at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “Studio V offers a world-class environment that sets a new benchmark for immersive production, enabling K-content to expand its reach and impact on a truly global scale. We will continue to invest in sustainable innovation and collaborative partnerships that elevate production efficiency and empower creators everywhere.”

      the New Lineup Combines Design, Performance and Value for Every Indian Home

      Mumbai, Oct. 14, 2025 — LG Electronics India Ltd. (LGEIL) today unveiled the LG Essential Series, a new line of home appliances created from the ground level with Indian insights. As the company’s first major consumer initiative following the public listing of LGEIL, the Essential Series reflects LG Electronics’ (LG) renewed commitment to India – making innovation more accessible to millions of households while meeting their growing aspirations. Under the campaign slogan “Har Ghar Appliances, Har Ghar Happiness,” LG aims to enrich the lifestyles of Indian consumers by ensuring that more households experience the brand promise of Life’s Good first-hand.
      Developed after engaging with more than 1,200 families across India representing diverse demographics and lifestyles, the series is built on two core philosophies: “Made in India” and “Made for India.” Each product is designed to meet the dreams and everyday challenges of Indian consumers offering superior performance, durability and thoughtful design, all at an accessible price.
      The LG Essential Series comprises four key appliances designed for Indian households:
      Double Door Refrigerator with frost-free technology and larger vegetable storage Fully Automatic Top Load Washing Machine built to withstand local conditions like dust, humidity and low water pressure Room Air Conditioner reducing energy consumption with Energy Manager+ & Diet Mode+ Convertible Oven with Indian Auto Cook menus, air fry and convection modes for healthier, versatile cooking. “The LG Essential Series marks a new chapter in our commitment to Indian consumers, following the successful market listing of LGEIL,” said Hong-ju Jeon, managing director of LG Electronics India Ltd. “Designed from the ground-up with insights from thousands of households, this series brings together premium design and everyday reliability. It addresses the real needs of Indian families with appliances built for local conditions – enhancing convenience and enriching daily life. With this launch, LG is making Life’s Good more accessible, turning aspirations into reality across India.”
      Designed for India: Durable, Practical and Thoughtful
      Double Door Refrigerator
      Combining simplicity with premium functionality, the refrigerator offers Frost Free Technology at a reasonable price, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. Its Smart Mode automatically adjusts cooling based on seasonal changes, while a 20 percent larger (compared to previous models) vegetable storage compartment accommodates bulk grocery shopping – ideal for vegetarian households.

      Built for durability in diverse Indian conditions, the washer features Low Pressure Fill technology for effective washing even at low water pressures.

Room Air Conditioner:
      Designed for comfortable living, the product comes equipped with features like Energy Manager+ with the “You decide your bill” function, which helps consumers manage energy consumption – a key concern as many hesitate to purchase air conditioners due to high electricity costs rather than product price. The Diet Mode+ feature allows users to manage both cooling temperature and personal comfort, optimizing energy efficiency while delivering enhanced airflow. It is ideal for effectively cooling small to medium-sized spaces such as bedrooms or study rooms. Product features and specifications may vary by model. Convertible Oven:
      Inspired by India’s rich culinary traditions, the oven includes Auto Cook menus customized for local dishes like ghee, paneer and dal. Equipped with Air Fry and Convection modes, it enables healthier cooking with the convenience of modern versatility.

      Company Shares Future Vision to Become a National Corporation of India

      MUMBAI, Oct. 14, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) today announced the listing of its subsidiary, LG Electronics India Limited (LGEIL), on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE). The milestone marks an important step in the LGEIL’s ambition to become a national corporation of India while reinforcing its role as a long-term partner in the country’s economic growth.
      On October 14, LG held a listing and future vision announcement ceremony at NSE in Mumbai, attended by LG Electronics CEO William Cho, CFO Chang-tae Kim, managing director of LGEIL Hong-ju Jeon, board chairman Dae-hyun Song, as well as NSE CEO Ashish Chauhan, investors and analysts. At the market’s opening bell, LG CEO Cho and NSE CEO Chauhan jointly rang the ceremonial gong to celebrate the start of trading for LGEIL.
      In the IPO, LG offered 15 percent of LGEIL’s issued shares (101,815,859 shares) through an offer for sale. The IPO price was set at the top of the indicative range at INR 1,140 per share, with subscriptions reaching 54 times the total offering. The listing generated approximately USD 1.31 billion1 (INR 116.05 billion).
      With the listing, LGEIL becomes more deeply rooted in India. LG anticipates that this development will support its growth in a market where rising incomes and expanding middle-class households are creating strong momentum in appliance adoption. According to Boston Consulting Group, the proportion of Indian households in the middle-income bracket (annual income USD 6,000–36,000) is forecast to rise from 29 percent in 2020 to 46 percent by 2030.
      “India is now at the center of our Global South strategy,” said William Cho, CEO of LG Electronics. “We look forward to advancing the growth of both LG and LGEIL.”
      Future Vision: Make for India, Make in India, Make India Global
      Alongside its market debut, LG presented a long-term vision to build on its leadership in India and strengthen its position. With India’s population and its status as one of the world’s largest potential markets, LG plans to expand strategies tailored to local customers and market needs. Through this, LG aims to maintain its current position as number one player in major home appliances and consumer electronics2 in India as per the market share in the offline channel.
      The first vision, “Make for India”, emphasizes creating products tailored to Indian lifestyles and needs. Building on decades of local insight, the range combines affordability, India-specific features and design elements reflecting cultural preferences. Building on this experience, LG will continue expanding its India-focused portfolio.
      The company’s second vision “Make in India” highlights LG’s alignment with India’s manufacturing-driven growth strategy. LG has established a self-sufficient local value chain spanning R&D, production, sales and service. In addition to its existing plants in Noida and Pune, the company is investing INR 50.01 billion in a new factory in Sri City, expected to create 1,900 direct and indirect jobs.
      Lastly, “Make India Global” builds on this foundation to position India as a key driving force within LG’s Global South strategy, which focuses on unlocking growth opportunities across emerging markets amid rapidly evolving geo-economic dynamics. Through this initiative, LG aims to help advance India’s transition from a fast-growing market to a recognized hub of innovation, manufacturing and talent.
      By empowering local industries, strengthening value chains and fostering technological capabilities, LG seeks to enable India to showcase its excellence on the world stage – from advanced manufacturing and R&D to technology exports and sustainable development. Ultimately, the company aspires to grow alongside India, supporting its rise as a global economic leader while reinforcing its own standing as a trusted national company that represents India’s potential to the world.
      Building a Better Future Together
      Beyond products, LGEIL continues to strengthen its connection with customers by enhancing after-sales services and expanding its Annual Maintenance Contract subscription programs – ensuring lasting relationships that extend well beyond the point of purchase. The company is also accelerating growth in future-ready B2B domains, providing advanced technologies for commercial spaces, HVAC systems and information displays.
      Guided by a shared vision for growth, LG stands ready to create lasting value in India – strengthening its role as a partner in the country’s progress and a contributor to its global success.

      Hai Phong Plant Achieves TÜV Rheinland CSMS Level 3 Certification

      SEOUL, Aug. 20, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG), a leading innovator in mobility technology, today announced that its Hai Phong manufacturing facility in Vietnam – the company’s largest production hub for vehicle components – has earned Cyber Security Management System (CSMS) Level 3 certification from TÜV Rheinland, a global testing and certification agency. The certification ceremony was held on August 19 (local time) at the Hai Phong plant.
      CSMS is an internationally recognized framework that assesses whether cybersecurity processes are systematically applied across the entire lifecycle of vehicles and automotive components, from planning and development to production, operation and post-production management.
      Hai Phong is the first facility in the world, among TÜV Rheinland-certified cases, to be awarded both CSMS Level 2 and Level 3 certifications simultaneously. This achievement extends the CSMS Level 3 certification previously awarded to LG Vehicle Solution (VS) Company’s management system, validating Hai Phong’s ability to apply rigorous cybersecurity measures in mass production.
      As LG VS Company’s largest vehicle component manufacturing site, Hai Phong produces the majority of products supplied to major global automakers. By establishing and applying advanced cybersecurity management systems at the facility, LG VS Company has reinforced its position as an industry leader in protecting automotive components from emerging digital threats.
      The need for robust cybersecurity at both key administrative and production facilities has become essential amid the industry-wide shift toward Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs). Cybersecurity risks during manufacturing are increasing, making it critical for suppliers to implement strong, standardized safeguards.
      Global regulatory requirements reiterate this urgency. The UNECE R155 regulation, implemented in 2021 and adopted by the European Union and 56 countries across Asia, Oceania and Africa, mandates that vehicles be certified with a CSMS before entering the market. Since July 2024, only vehicles meeting this requirement have been allowed in these markets, with the U.S. and China also tightening their automotive cybersecurity regulations.
      LG has steadily strengthened cybersecurity across all areas of LG VS Company. At the corporate administrative level, LG achieved CSMS Level 2 certification in 2023 and Level 3 certification last year. With Hai Phong now Level 3 certified, the company plans to pursue certification for its other major manufacturing facilities.
      In 2024, LG also earned the Automotive SPICE for Cybersecurity certification, a standard developed by European OEMs to evaluate the cybersecurity and software reliability of automotive component suppliers. Major U.S. automakers, including General Motors and Ford, are now adopting this standard for supplier assessments as well.
      “Internationally recognized cybersecurity certifications such as CSMS Level 3 strengthen our position as a trusted partner to global automakers,” said Eun Seok-hyun, president of the LG VS Company. “Through an unmatched commitment to security and quality, LG will continue to enhance its leadership in the automotive components market.”
