Is LG an Indian Company?

No. LG Electronics is not an Indian company. It is a global electronic company with its headquarters at South Korea, though it has a solid and long-running existence in India.

LG is among the most trusted brands for consumer electronics in Indian households. It is known for its refrigerators, TVs and washing machines, as well as phones (earlier). Because of its extensive market presence and the local production most people think that it’s Indian.

However, its source, ownership and control are still outside India.
