New Delhi, 27th August 2026: LG Electronics India Limited (LGEIL) has been honoured with multiple product (10) wins at DIGIT India’s Top Appliance Awards 2026, held at a gala ceremony in New Delhi. An initiative by Times Network and presented by digit.in India’s oldest technology media brand, with over 25 years of authority in independent product testing the awards recognise excellence in home appliance innovation through India’s first strictly data-driven evaluation mechanism for the category. The ceremony was graced by Dr. Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State for Science & Technology, Earth Sciences, Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions (PP/DoPT), and Atomic Energy & Space, as Chief Guest, alongside Brajesh Pathak, Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, as the second Chief Guest of the evening.
Unlike consumer-voted popularity contests, DIGIT India’s Top Appliance Awards is built on a rigorous, lab-first evaluation process. Every nominated product is tested inside DIGIT’s state-of-the-art laboratories in Mumbai and Noida, benchmarked against a matrix of over 150 technical parameters ranging from thermal imaging diagnostics to the entire customer support cycle. This technical scoring is then reviewed by an independent expert jury panel, whose oversight forms the final layer of evaluation before winners are selected. The awards span 36+ appliance categories and are amplified across DIGIT’s editorial ecosystem, which reaches over 40 million consumers monthly across digital, video, print and social platforms.
The jury comprised Tarun Pathak, Research Director, Counterpoint Research, Navkendar Singh, AVP, IDC and Manas Tiwari, Technology Editor, Times Network along with senior members of DIGIT’s editorial
team, who assessed nominated products on the basis of laboratory testing data, real-world usability, and innovation relevance to Indian consumers.
