New Delhi: South Korean consumer electronics major LG is targeting Rs 5,000 crore revenue from the built-in kitchen appliances category in India in the next 8-10 years.
Elaborating on the new business category, Jain said: "It(built-in kitchen appliances) may not have big potential initially due to its higher cost compared with free standing appliances. However, due to growing number of premium apartments in the country, we can see good growth."
