Samsung sees surge in AI appliance demand across India; aims 70% revenue from smart appliances by year-end
Samsung India is betting big on artificial intelligence (AI) to reshape the future of home appliances in the country. Speaking to Times of India, Ghufran Alam, vice president, digital appliances business, Samsung India, revealed that the company aims to generate 70% of its appliance revenue from AI-enabled products by December 2025 — a significant leap from 12% just a year ago. As part of this push, Samsung has launched two major Bespoke AI products: a 25 kg AI combo washer-dryer (India's largest residential capacity) and a Bespoke AI Family Hub refrigerator equipped with an interactive screen and smart features. The launches are a continuation of Samsung's strategy to expand AI from its premium range into the mid-segment, democratizing intelligent appliances for a broader audience. Samsung AI-powered appliances built for Indian homes A standout feature of Samsung's strategy is India-specific R&D, with three dedicated research centers working on tailoring features for local needs. One such innovation is the Stain Wash functionality in its washing machines — a feature Samsung says it developed to address India's high dust and humidity conditions that make certain stains difficult to remove. 'These features are not gimmicks,' said Alam. 'They're practical solutions born out of real insights from Indian households.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo AI-powered appliances gaining traction even in tier 2 and tier 3 cities Interestingly, Samsung has revealed that it is witnessing strong adoption in tier 2 and tier 3 cities, matching the enthusiasm seen in metros. Consumers in these regions are increasingly prioritizing energy efficiency and ease-of-use, especially as they factor in the long-term running costs of home appliances, the company says. 'Buying an appliance is a one-time investment, but what worries consumers is the electricity cost over the next 5–7 years. That's where our AI-enabled energy savings — up to 70% in some cases — really matter,' said Alam.

Good news to Gautam Adani from Bangladesh! Rs 37422276500 single largest payment made by…, resolves Adani's power…
Bangladesh made its largest single payment of USD 437 million in June, settling pending dues including carrying costs and power purchase agreement-related charges thereby reaffirming the Indian conglomerate's power asset as a reliable and cost-effective energy source for the country's growing needs, according to a PTI report citing sources. The report further added that Bangladesh has now become regular in its payments. Additionally, a Letter of Credit (LC) covering about two months of billing has been established, along with a sovereign guarantee for all outstanding dues as added security. Since payment-related matters are resolved, Bangladesh has asked Adani Power to supply power from both units as per BPDB (Bangladesh Power Development Board) schedule, they added. Bangladesh Clears Adani Power's Dues Report claimed that Bangladesh has resolved Adani Power's dues, including the carrying cost. Over the last 3-4 months, the country has been paying USD 90-100 million per month, and in June, it paid USD 437 million. The LCs are worth about two months of billing and sovereign guarantee for all dues, as additional security has put Adani in a very comfortable situation. Concerns raised related to investigations into the PPA by the Bangladesh authorities have been resolved, with no adverse aspects found. With all these developments, lenders are confident of improving APL's credit rating to AA+ from the current AA. How Adani Power Supplies Electricity To Bangladesh? Adani Power supplies electricity to Bangladesh from a dedicated 1600 MW plant located in Godda district of Jharkhand, meeting 10 per cent of the country's power demand. The company supplies among the most competitively priced power to Bangladesh, as is evident from BPDB's merit order dispatch data, which is an essential requirement. Bangladesh had in the past struggled to meet its payment obligations under the 2017 deal, as rising import costs following the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022 and domestic political turmoil, which led to the ouster of the prime minister strained the country's finances. As a result, Adani halved its supply last year, and full supplies were resumed in March 2025 after the country's monthly payments started covering some of the dues. PTI sources said over the last three to four months, Bangladesh had started paying USD 90-100 million per month, and in June, the company received the single largest chunk of payment of USD 437 million, thereby clearing all dues. Adani Power's Godda unit was housed under a separate subsidiary, which has now been merged with the parent, providing greater operational and financial synergy. With all these developments, lenders are confident of improving Adani Power's credit rating to AA+ from the current AA, which will further bring down its cost of funds. The current developments vindicate the contract established between the Bangladesh government and Adani Power. The Godda asset is now well integrated into the Bangladesh Power system successfully.
