After Diwali, AC, TV, fridge will also become more expensive; Possibility of price hike up to 10 per cent

Mumbai, October 26: The general public is likely to be hit by another blow of inflation. If you are planning to buy an electrical item like AC, TV, fridge, take it away immediately. This is because after Diwali (Diwali Festival 2021), prices of other consumer durables products including AC, fridge (Electronic Products) may go up. This is because the prices of steel, copper and aluminum have gone up in the last few days. This has put pressure on consumer durables companies to raise the prices of their products. In addition, the increase in diesel prices has made the transportation of goods more expensive. So these companies have no choice but to raise prices. The shortage of semiconductor chips is also plaguing these companies.

ABP NewsAccording to the report, consumer durables companies did not raise prices during the festive season on the back of higher sales. This is affecting their profits. That is why after Diwali, these companies are expected to increase the prices of their products by seven to ten per cent. Metal prices have risen by 20 to 25 per cent in the last few days.
