Consumer electronics reshuffle: Panasonic exits refrigerators and washing machines in India, to focus on HVAC and B2B
Japanese electronics major Panasonic has exited India's refrigerator and washing machine segments as part of a global restructuring strategy, marking a shift toward more profitable and future-ready verticals such as HVAC, B2B, and home automation. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The two segments had been loss-making for the company in India, where it struggled to gain market share. According to GfK data, Panasonic's market share stood at just 1.8% for washing machines and 0.8% for refrigerators, with six consecutive years of sales losses reported in both categories. 'This is in line with our global strategy and evolving market dynamics,' a Panasonic Life Solutions India spokesperson said in a statement, quoted PTI. 'We will focus on HVAC – commercial and residential – and televisions in the Panasonic Consumer Business category, and discontinue washing machines and refrigerators.' The company will support dealers in liquidating existing inventory and will continue to offer full customer service including parts and warranty coverage, the spokesperson added. The decision follows a broader directive by Panasonic Group CEO Yuki Kusumi, who in May announced plans to exit unprofitable businesses globally in order to break stagnation and drive future growth, PTI reported. For its India operations, Panasonic will continue to invest in key verticals such as home automation, electricals, energy solutions, and B2B technologies. Its consumer electronics portfolio—spanning air conditioners, televisions, kitchen appliances, beauty products, and Lumix cameras—will remain intact, the company clarified. 'In our journey towards long-term sustainable growth, we acknowledge that the evolving business model has led to certain roles being restructured,' the spokesperson said. 'This is a difficult but necessary step, and we deeply appreciate the contributions of our impacted employees.' Panasonic India reported revenue of around Rs 11,500 crore in FY25, posting double-digit growth overall.

"Rs 19 Lakh Security Deposit": Canadian Man Stunned By Bengaluru's Rental Norms, Calls It "Bonkers"
Needless to say, housing in Bengaluru is extremely expensive, and finding a decent place to rent or buy can be a real challenge. Recently, a Canadian man living in India sparked a discussion online after expressing shock over the city's rental norms, particularly the requirement of high security deposits. Taking to X, Caleb Friesen shared a screenshot of a property listing for a 3BHK apartment in the city's upscale Diamond District in Domlur. The rent? Rs 1.75 lakh a month. But it was the security deposit, a staggering Rs 19.25 lakh, that left him baffled. "Rs 19 lakh for security deposit! absolutely bonkers what landlords are expecting these days, I could literally buy a new Mahindra Thar for less than this deposit. anyone know of a place in/around Indiranagar with 2-3 months deposit only? rent price range Rs. 80 to 1 lakh," he wrote while sharing the picture of the property listing. Take a look below: Rs. 19 lakh for security deposit! absolutely bonkers what landlords are expecting these days, I could literally buy a new Mahindra Thar for less than this deposit anyone know of a place in/around Indiranagar with 2-3 months deposit only? rent price range Rs. 80 to 1 lakh — Caleb (@caleb_friesen2) June 28, 2025 The post has gone viral on X, garnering more than 43,000 views. It has sparked a discussion about Bengaluru real estate and rental prices. "I'd say that you should be prepared to get your hopes quashed with your requirement. House renting is a mafia in this city," wrote one user. "This is why some finfluencers say that buying houses is a waste of money. According to them paying high amounts as interest free security deposit is better than paying EMIs!" commented another. "I was thinking about moving to Bangalore after I left Chennai. But, after 1st round of interview with that office in based in Bangalore I checked properties around. All of them have sequrity diposit more than my salary. So, dropped idea of moving to Bangalore," shared a third user. "So landlords are demanding a literal kidney's worth of money for deposit. What a joke!!" expressed another. "Actually he is being nice here. It's 10 times the rent in Bangalore. Which is 21 lacs. Crazy!" one user wrote. The post also prompted some hilarious responses. "Don't buy a Thar.

ED seizes property worth Rs 15.78 crore in J&K's Patnitop hill station
Jammu: The Enforcement Directorate has attached immovable property worth Rs 15.78 crore in Jammu and Kashmir's Patnitop hill station linked to a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) 2002, an official said on Saturday. 'Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Jammu Sub Zonal Office has provisionally attached several immovable properties worth Rs 15.78 crore (approx.) on June 27, 2025, in the case of Patni Top Development Authority (PDA) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. The provisionally attached properties comprise land, building and income generated from the running of Hotel Pine Heritage, Hotel Dream Land and Hotel Shahi Santoor, all located in Patnitop,' the ED said in a statement issued on Saturday. 'ED initiated investigations on the basis of FIR registered by CBI, ACB, Jammu against various owners/Directors of the Hotels/Guest House/Resorts/Cottages /Residences in the Patni Top area and officials of PDA, that such hotels/guest houses/ resorts indulged in commercial use of residential buildings, excess construction beyond approved limits, operating businesses in prohibited areas (dense forests, agricultural areas, residential areas) etc, wherein lapses of compliances were overlooked by PDA officials,' the federal agency stated. ED investigations revealed that Hotel Pine Heritage, Hotel Dream Land and Hotel Shahi Santoor were built beyond the area permitted by the PDA. The hotels had undertaken illegal construction beyond approved limits, while generating revenue from utilising the same. Earlier, in the same case, ED had provisionally attached properties comprising land and building of Hotel Trinetar Resorts, Patnitop and Hotel Green Orchid in January this year. 'ED has been acting proactively against cases coming under the PMLA, as, in most of such cases, the money thus illegally laundered is used for unlawful and often anti-national interests,' the statement said. 'Cases of money laundering initially brought to light by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) are also finally dealt with by the ED, as powers to act under the provisions of PMLA are vested in the ED,' it added.
