Besides the rupee depreciation, the company said, it is facing the heat of high input costs. "Though the raw material prices have stabilised in the recent past, it is still high as compared with last year," the official said.
Similarly, LG Electronics India (LGEIL) said it was increasing the prices by up to 3% across all its home appliances range.
"The price hike is applicable on front loading washing machines, microwave ovens and flat cathode ray tube appliances," LGEIL Chief Operating officer YV Verma said.
The products are priced around Rs 4,000 to Rs 40,000.
However, he added that there has been no increase in prices of flat panel television sets, mobile phone and air-conditioners.
Domestic consumer durables firm Godrej Appliances and Japanese electronics firm Panasonic said they will hold on to the current prices till the festive season and would take a decision post Diwali.
"We are not planning to take any price increase till October-end. Based on the dollar-rupee equation we will review and take a decision post festive season. We do not want to dampen the festive mood," Godrej Appliances Vice President (Sales and marketing) Kamal Nandi said.
