He noted that Tier 2–3 cities now contribute 35 per cent of kitchen sales, up from 24 per cent in FY24.

Interio has also introduced a Kitchen Configurator on its e-commerce platform, enabling customers to visualise kitchens using 3D modelling. The tool offers pre-configured modules for standard layouts, with pricing starting at Rs 1.25 million, and connects customers with local dealers for site-specific customisation.

Among its key offerings is the Steel Chef modular steel kitchen range for the mid-premium segment, alongside in-house manufactured accessories such as smart chimneys and tall storage units. The brand’s modular CKD units are designed for faster installation, typically completed within five to seven days. Going forward, Interio plans to leverage trends such as smart home integration, sustainable materials and multifunctional design to strengthen its position in the evolving kitchen market.
