Latest trends in consumer electronics - India

Consumer electronics retail chains in India have always prospered thanks to the variety of options they carry based on different budget levels.

The needs of a common man are satisfied by going to a electronics store where products ranging from ceiling fan to AC, Computer to LCD/ Plasma etc are displayed.

Here there is a mix of Manufacturer stores as well as other retail chains. Both ways the competition is tough and especially during festival season, the consumer stands to bargain a lot (best time being New Year!!). Offers pour in the form of Television advertisements, newspaper inserts, internet mode, etc
