Acer to make home appliances in India, export too: MD Harish Kohli

New Delhi: Acer, known for its laptops and PCs, is expanding into home electronics, with plans to manufacture and export appliances such as water and air purifiers, refrigerators and vacuum cleaners from India, a market that last year became the Taiwanese IT hardware major’s second largest for its global operations after the US.

Harish Kohli, managing director, Acer India, told ET that the company is already on track to meet the targets for the first year of the revised production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme that started from April 2023 on the back of strong shipments in the commercial space and exports.
