Samsung gets a head start on summer with early AC and fridge care
MUMBAI: Summer may still be loading, but Samsung is already turning down the heat. The consumer electronics major has announced its Proactive Summer Care Campaign, urging customers to service their air conditioners and refrigerators well before temperatures and service queues soar.
Running from 4 February to 15, March 2026, the campaign offers customers a clutch of early-bird savings, including up to 50 per cent off labour charges, pick-up and delivery, and jet cleaning, alongside discounts on gas refilling, spare parts and maintenance packs.
The idea is simple: service early, sweat less later. With ACs and refrigerators working overtime during Indian summers, timely preventive maintenance can improve cooling performance, boost energy efficiency and cut the risk of mid-heatwave breakdowns. Early servicing also helps customers dodge last-minute delays when demand peaks.
Under the campaign, Samsung is offering 50 per cent off labour charges, pick-up and delivery, and AC jet cleaning, 15 per cent off gas charging, and 10 per cent off spare parts and accessories. Customers can also avail 15 per cent off Samsung Care Plus Maintenance Packs and an additional 5 per cent product discount on Samsung Store+.
The campaign also nudges customers towards smarter home management through the Samsung SmartThings app. Trained technicians can help connect compatible appliances, while customers can request live demos to understand how connected controls and automation can simplify everyday appliance use.
Beyond routine servicing, Samsung is pushing specialised care options such as deep dry and jet cleaning for ACs, cooling coil cleaning for refrigerators, and long-term maintenance packs designed to extend appliance life and maintain consistent cooling.
With summer around the corner, Samsung’s message is clear, don’t wait for the heat to strike. Book servicing early, save on costs, and keep cooling uninterrupted when it matters most.

year net profit dips 22 per cent to Rs 915cr as revenue softens slightly to Rs 5,137cr.
MUMBAI: Angel One has just earned its wings in style delivering a blockbuster Q4 that proves the brokerage giant is still flying high even in a cautious market. Standalone revenue from operations for the three months ended 31 March 2026 rose sharply to Rs 1,459cr, up from Rs 1,056cr a year ago. Total income stood at Rs 1,467cr. After all expenses, profit before tax came in at Rs 440cr, while net profit for the quarter surged 83 per cent to Rs 320cr (versus Rs 175cr last year). Basic EPS stood at Rs 3.52 and diluted at Rs 3.44.
For the full year ended 31 March 2026, revenue from operations was Rs 5,137cr compared with Rs 5,238cr in FY25. Total income reached Rs 5,152cr. Profit before tax was Rs 1,272cr, and net profit came in at Rs 915cr (down from Rs 1,172cr). Basic EPS was Rs 10.09 (from Rs 13.00) and diluted Rs 9.85 (from Rs 12.68).
Total comprehensive income for the quarter stood at Rs 321cr, while the full-year figure was Rs 913cr.
The strong quarterly performance reflects robust growth in interest income (Rs 455cr) and fees & commission (Rs 1,000cr), even as the full-year numbers moderated amid a softer overall environment. Finance costs rose to Rs 134cr in Q4 (full year Rs 437cr), while employee benefits stood at Rs 244cr for the quarter (full year Rs 1,067cr).
In a year when many brokers felt the pinch of muted market activity, Angel One has delivered a sparkling Q4 that shows its core broking engine is firing on all cylinders. With the books now closed on FY26, the Mumbai-based player has once again demonstrated that consistent execution and a sharp focus on retail participation continue to pay rich dividends in India’s booming capital markets.
