The Haier Group, founded in China, expanded into international markets from the late 1990s onwards as part of a broader globalisation strategy. India was identified as a strategic market owing to its large consumer base and growing demand for white goods. Haier established its India operations to design, manufacture and distribute products tailored to Indian household requirements, including features adapted to local climate, power conditions and consumption patterns.
Haier India operates manufacturing facilities in the country to produce appliances for the domestic market as well as for export. The company's product range covers both entry-level and premium segments, with offerings spanning side-by-side and bottom-mounted refrigerators, front-load and top-load washing machines, split and window air conditioners, and a range of LED televisions.
Distribution is carried out through a network of authorised dealers, modern retail chains, brand-exclusive outlets and online marketplaces. After-sales service is provided through service centres located across major cities and towns.
Haier India is among the foreign-owned consumer durable companies that have contributed to the expansion of the organised home appliance market in India. Its presence forms part of the wider competitive landscape that includes domestic manufacturers and other multinational brands. The company's local manufacturing aligns with policy initiatives that encourage domestic production of electronics and appliances.
