The top 10 TV brands in India 2026 are selling fewer TVs but bigger, better ones. Counterpoint Research says India’s smart TV shipments fell 3% year on year in January–March 2026, as rupee weakness, regional conflicts and an LPG crisis squeezed household budgets. Yet TVs of 55 inches and above grew to almost one-third of shipments, and basic LED panels dropped from 83% of the market to 63% in a single year.

The main reason is Mini LED. It used to be a premium technology, but a 55-inch Mini LED TV now starts at around ₹45,000. That’s less than some brands charge for an ordinary 55-inch LED set. Here’s how the leading TV brands compare.
