Nippo enters India’s air purification market with the pan-India launch of Airvue

Indo National Limited (INL), the company behind the iconic Nippo brand, today announced the pan-India launch of Nippo Airvue, marking its entry into the indoor air quality monitoring and purification segment. The launch is part of Nippo’s broader evolution from a legacy battery brand into a diversified consumer-focused organization, with a growing presence across home and consumer-technology categories. With healthcare emerging as a key area of focus, the company aims to leverage technology and innovation to develop solutions that address evolving consumer and wellness needs.

Building a New Growth Category

Air purification is expected to emerge as an important new business vertical for INL. The company expects Airvue to contribute ₹100 crore in revenue in FY 2030, accounting for approximately 10% of INL’s overall revenue. Over the next 5 years, Nippo is targeting 15% market share from the air purification and indoor air intelligence segment. The opportunity is supported by growing awareness around indoor air quality across homes, workplaces, healthcare, institutional environments and sustainable green buildings. According to IMARC Group, the Indian air purifier market is projected to reach USD 1.82 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 13.54%.

Mr. Aditya Reddy, Joint Managing Director, Indo National Limited, said, “Our entry into air purification is part of a larger strategy to identify emerging consumer needs and build relevant, technology-led categories. By leveraging Nippo’s strong brand credibility, nationwide ecosystem and consumer trust, Airvue enables us to bring differentiated solutions to a wider audience. We see significant headroom to scale this category and build a broader portfolio of home technology and consumer solutions.”

Mr. Paul Pradeep, Founder, MedCuore Medical Solutions Pvt. Ltd., said, “Airvue was created to make indoor air quality measurable and actionable. By bringing together connected monitoring, smart purification and advanced filtration, the platform enables users to understand their indoor environment, take corrective action and track the outcome. Nippo’s scale and reach will help take this technology to a wider consumer and institutional audience.

The company plans to progressively expand into dehumidifiers, humidifiers, Energy Recovery Ventilation systems, HVAC and AC filters, car air purifiers and herbal air-care products, alongside enterprise air-intelligence solutions.
