TVs, washing machines, ACs & other consumer electronic prices may go up this Oct

In October, consumers can expect a rise in prices for popular appliances such as air-conditioners and washing machines. Manufacturers attribute this increase to the escalating costs of materials and freight, compounded by ongoing supply chain challenges. Brands like Blue Star and Godrej Appliances are raising their prices by 5 to 8 percent. However, some retailers still have older inventory available at unchanged prices, particularly as the festive shopping season begins.
