Opple Lighting Broadens Influence in India with Tailored Offerings

Summary: Opple Lighting, a Chinese LED luminaire manufacturer, is expanding its footprint in India’s retail market by introducing customized ‘Made for India’ LED products, particularly in South India. Tailoring products to address local voltage fluctuations and surge protection, the company has launched 200 items in India and plans to provide comprehensive solutions for large enterprises. As part of its strategy, Opple aims to establish a robust distribution network and has opened two large-format brand stores in Hyderabad, with plans to increase this to 30 stores and 100 shop-in-shop outlets by year-end. Despite the growth of India’s lighting industry, valued at INR 150 billion and rapidly expanding, Opple currently has no plans for manufacturing in India, relying instead on its Shanghai facility for production.
