- Johnson Controls-Hitachi Air Conditioning India Limited previously specialized in manufacturing, distributing, and selling a wide array of cooling and heating solutions for the Indian market and for export. The company's product portfolio included various air conditioners such as inverter and fixed-speed split, packaged, window, cassette, ductable, and advanced variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems. Beyond air conditioning, it also offered a range of chillers, encompassing water-cooled, air-cooled, and absorption types, along with refrigerators and air purifiers. These products were marketed under the renowned Hitachi Cooling & Heating brand, complemented by essential after-sales services like repair and maintenance. Serving residential, commercial, and industrial clients throughout India, the company also extended its reach to international markets including Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Middle East, and Africa. Incorporated in 1984, the entity was initially known as Hitachi Home & Life Solutions (India) Limited, before adopting the Johnson Controls-Hitachi Air Conditioning India Limited name in September 2016. Headquartered in Kadi, India, and operating a Global Development Center there, it was a subsidiary of JCHAC India Holdco Limited, representing a global joint venture between Johnson Controls and Hitachi Appliances. In a significant recent development, effective November 4, 2025, Johnson Controls-Hitachi Air Conditioning India Limited officially changed its corporate identity to Bosch Home Comfort India Limited. This strategic shift followed Robert Bosch GmbH's acquisition of a 74.2% majority stake in the company's parent global joint venture in July 2025.
