What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Several major appliance manufacturers, including Haier, Daikin, and Blue Star, have confirmed or announced price increases across their product lines ahead of the festive season starting October 1. These price hikes, ranging from 3 to 8 percent, are attributed to increased costs for materials such as copper, steel, and aluminum, alongside higher freight expenses and currency rate changes. AC prices are expected to rise by 5-8 percent, while washing machines, refrigerators, and LED TVs may increase by 3-4 percent.

The price increases affect consumer electronics and home appliances just before the festive shopping season. While some companies worry that higher prices could negatively impact sales, existing dealer stock may allow consumers to purchase products at previous prices temporarily.
