Nashik: The demand for electronic gadgets and home appliances like smart TVs, mobile phones, refrigerators, washing machines etc. has increased in the past 4-5 days ahead of Diwali.
Shopkeepers said they are expecting over 25% growth in the business in comparison to the last year.
Ravi Parekh, the owner of an electronic goods showroom, said, “There has been a rise in demand for electronic gadgets and appliances over the past 3-4 days as most of the people are receiving Diwali bonuses, which is boosting the sales.”
“Positive market sentiments are being seen after one-and-a-half years of the Covid pandemic. Smart LED TVs and mobile phones are high in demand. Apart from these, there is also a good demand for refrigerators and washing machines,” said Parekh.
Sachin Muley, the marketing officer at an electronic hypermarket said, there is a rush of people to buy smart LED TVs and smartphones. Moreover, laptops are also very sought-after.
“The market has improved after the easing of Covid restrictions. The sales have reached the pre-Covid level that was seen two years back,” said Muley.
“We are getting good business this year and the business has increased by 25-30% in comparison to the festive business during the same period last year,” he said.
Apart from electronic gadgets and appliances, there is a rush of people buying cloth and garments.
