Reason behind rise in TV prices is difficulties in import of television panels due to COVID. Because most of the TV panels are being imported from China, the India Government has banned import of LCD TV and Color TV import. So there is a reduction in the number of panels in India, but undoubtedly demand for the same will grow this festive season.
According to Avneet Marwa, CEO of Super Plastronics that manufacturers television with the license of Thomson and Kodak, TV prices might hike up to 35 per cent in the festive season. Similarly Arjun Bajaj, director of Videotex, a Shinko TV maker says that TV prices could increase by 20–30 per cent in the next few days, as Indian TV dealers are not getting imported television. Besides, there is also a tax of 20 per cent on imported TVs.
