Elista announced its foray into the refrigerator category with the launch of an exceptional line-up of Single-door refrigerators. Priced starting at Rs. 23,999, the new line-up includes six cutting-edge refrigerators, offering capacities ranging from 190 to 230 litres and energy efficiency ratings from 1-star to 4-star, designed to withstand the intense summer heat.
Elista's strategic entry into the refrigerator market aligns seamlessly with the rapid expansion of India's refrigerator sector, projected to surge at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.2% from 2023 to 2031. This timely expansion positions Elista to drive significant growth, setting new benchmarks for innovation and customer satisfaction. With a focus on affordability, and longer lifecycle, Elista’s energy-efficient refrigerators offer 10-year warranty on the Compressor, and a 1-year comprehensive warranty for a long-term, hassle-free performance.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Pawan Kumar, CEO, Elista, said, "The launch of Elista Refrigerators underscores our commitment to delivering segment-leading technology products at versatile price points, serving as a testament to Elista's profound understanding of the diverse needs of Indian consumers. Proudly manufactured under the ‘Make in India’ initiative, the refrigerators are equipped with cutting-edge features to exceed consumer expectations. We are optimistic that our first refrigerator line-up will achieve the same level of success that our Smart TV range has enjoyed in the Indian market. We are anticipating that this launch will be pivotal in achieving the domestic revenue target of Rs 500 crore from the nation-wide sale by the end of the year 2025.
