Acer India ranked second in the country’s PC market in the first quarter of 2026, with a 21.3% share, according to IDC data reported by Hindustan Times. President and managing director Harish Kohli attributed the performance to advance planning during shortages of RAM, storage and processors. Rather than switch between DDR4 and DDR5 systems as supplies changed, Acer standardised its products and set prices around delivery windows. The company also fulfilled a Tamil Nadu government order for 5,50,000 laptops under the state’s student distribution programme. Acer India’s business remains split between commercial customers and consumers, at 53% and 47% respectively.
