AC makers raise prices by 5–15% ahead of summer as input costs climb

Room air-conditioner prices are rising by 5-15% as manufacturers face higher costs for copper, aluminium, and freight. This price adjustment is happening between February and April, just before the peak summer demand. Companies like Daikin, Voltas, and Blue Star are implementing these hikes. Despite the increase, sales are expected to grow due to forecasts of a hot summer.
