List of 6 Best Iron Brand In India

1. Philips Iron Brand

Philips was founded in 1891 in Eindhoven, Netherlands, by Gerard Philips and his father Frederik, starting out by manufacturing incandescent light bulbs before growing into one of the world’s best-known electronics companies. Today, Royal Philips has fully refocused on health technology (imaging systems, monitoring equipment, and medical devices) and no longer directly runs its old consumer appliances business.
Here’s the part most articles skip: in 2021, Royal Philips sold its Domestic Appliances division — the unit responsible for irons, garment steamers, air fryers, and similar products — to Hillhouse Capital. That business was renamed Versuni in 2023. Versuni (and its India arm, Versuni India, formerly Philips Domestic Appliances India) now designs, manufactures, and sells all “Philips” branded irons and home appliances in India under a paid license from Royal Philips. So when you buy a Philips iron today, you’re getting Versuni’s engineering behind the Philips name — including recent launches like the Philips OneTurn, introduced in January 2026 for faster ironing and quick steaming.
Why should you choose Philips?
- A globally recognized, trusted brand name with over 130 years of legacy
- Versuni is investing heavily in Indian manufacturing, targeting 90%+ local production by 2026
- Steady stream of newer ironing tech, including the PerfectCare and OneTurn ranges
- Wide, well-established service network across India
- Solid build quality and reasonable pricing for the segment
2. USHA Iron Brand

USHA International traces back to 1934, when Lala Shri Ram launched India’s first indigenous sewing machine under the Usha name through Jay Engineering Works. Fans were added to the lineup in the following decade, and by 1984 the brand had expanded into a full home appliances range, including irons. USHA remains a family-run Indian company today, currently led by Executive Chairman Krishna Shriram, and is headquartered in Gurugram, Haryana.
USHA’s steam irons are known for multiple steam vents combined with a spray function, which helps push moisture deep into fabric fibers for crisp, wrinkle-free results with minimal effort. As one of India’s oldest home-grown consumer durables brands, it has built a strong presence — especially in tier-2 and tier-3 cities — on the back of affordable pricing and dependable performance.
Why should you choose USHA?
- A genuinely home-grown Indian brand with a 90-year legacy
- Attractively priced irons across the dry and steam range
- Wide distribution and after-sales support across smaller towns and cities
- Backed by the larger USHA/Shriram Group’s manufacturing scale
3. Morphy Richards Iron Brand

Morphy Richards is a British appliance brand founded in 1936, and part of the Irish electrical appliances group Glen Dimplex. In India, Bajaj Electricals has marketed and sold Morphy Richards products since April 2002 under a trademark licensing agreement, which was extended for a further 15 years in 2022.
Here’s an important, very recent update: in March 2026, Bajaj Electricals signed a deal to fully acquire the Morphy Richards brand and IP rights for India and neighboring markets (Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives) for ₹141.4 crore — moving the relationship from a licensing arrangement to outright ownership. This gives Bajaj Electricals complete control over Morphy Richards’ product development, branding, and distribution strategy in the region going forward.
I’d recommend Morphy Richards if you’re looking for a lightweight, well-designed iron in the premium segment that’s genuinely good value. Reviews have generally been positive, though some users have historically reported water leakage issues on the steam models.
Why should you choose Morphy Richards?
- Known for stylish, mid-range to premium steam irons
- Lightweight and comfortable for extended use
- Now fully owned (not just licensed) by Bajaj Electricals in India, meaning long-term brand investment
- Backed by Bajaj Electricals’ established Indian service network
4. Bajaj Electricals Iron Brand

Bajaj Electricals was incorporated in July 1938 as Radio Lamp Works by Kamalnayan Bajaj, and was renamed Bajaj Electricals in 1960. It’s part of the larger Bajaj Group, one of India’s oldest and most trusted industrial conglomerates, and is headquartered in Mumbai. In FY2024, the company reported consolidated revenue of roughly ₹4,727 crore.
Beyond its own branded appliances, Bajaj Electricals also now owns Morphy Richards (as covered above) and the non-stick cookware brand Nirlep, giving it a genuinely wide footprint in Indian kitchens and utility rooms. The company operates through roughly 20 branch offices, backed by a network of over 850 distributors, 1.7 lakh+ retail outlets, and 660+ consumer care centers across India, with exports to more than 40 countries.
Bajaj’s own-brand irons are known for being lightweight and easy to use, making them a practical choice for households that need to get through a large pile of ironing quickly.
Why should you choose Bajaj Electricals?
- Competitively priced across dry and steam iron ranges
- Extensive, easy-to-locate customer service network across India
- A trusted, homegrown brand backed by the wider Bajaj Group
- Now also controls the Morphy Richards and Nirlep brands
5. Havells Iron Brand

Havells was originally founded in 1958 by Haveli Ram Gandhi and later sold, in 1971, to his distributor Qimat Rai Gupta, who built it into the electrical goods major it is today. The company is currently led by Anil Rai Gupta, Chairman and Managing Director (and son of Qimat Rai Gupta), and is headquartered in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Havells reported consolidated revenue of roughly ₹21,746 crore in FY2025, making it one of the larger fast-moving electrical goods (FMEG) companies in India.
Beyond irons, Havells has a broad electrical portfolio spanning switches, cables, wires, fans, lighting, and home appliances, and also owns brands like Lloyd, Crabtree, and Standard Electricals. Its home appliance lineup, including steam irons, tends to focus on energy efficiency alongside modern, trend-forward design.
Why should you choose Havells?
- Trendy, well-designed steam irons
- Strong service center presence across most Indian cities
- A well-established, publicly listed Indian brand
- Focus on energy-efficient appliance technology
6. Crompton Iron Brand

Crompton’s consumer roots trace back more than 75 years to Crompton Greaves Limited, a long-standing Indian electrical engineering company. In 2016, its consumer durables business was demerged into a separate, independently listed company — Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited (CGCEL) — which is now the entity behind the Crompton brand you see on store shelves.
Crompton has held a market-leading position in fans, domestic pumps, and street lighting for over two decades, and is currently the world’s largest fan manufacturer by volume, holding an estimated 20% share of the Indian fan market. Irons sit alongside geysers, mixer grinders, and toasters as part of its wider household appliances portfolio, manufactured out of plants in Goa, Vadodara, Ahmednagar, and Baddi.
If you’re buying home appliances from Crompton, their iron range is worth a look for its looks and design — the brand has clearly prioritized aesthetics. The one recurring complaint I’ve come across (and experienced myself) is that the power cord tends to coil and tangle more easily than on some competing irons.
Why should you choose Crompton?
- One of India’s oldest and most trusted electrical brands
- Backed by large-scale, India-based manufacturing
- Attractive, modern design across its iron lineup
- Strong nationwide distribution network
