Voltas looks to hike AC prices by 5-15% this year owing to cost pressures

Voltas anticipates a 5-15 percent increase in air conditioner prices this year. This rise is driven by higher copper prices and a weakening rupee against the dollar. The company also points to increased production costs from making AC units more energy efficient. Despite these challenges, Voltas expects domestic AC sales to grow by 15-20 percent in 2026.
