Electronic goods like TVs, fridges, and smartphones may become cheaper in the coming days. Yet this depends on the decision of the companies. In fact, amid the growing trade war between the US and China due to tariffs, many Chinese manufacturers of electronic components are offering up to 5% discount to Indian companies.
According to sources, due to this discount, Indian electronics manufacturers may consider offering some benefits to customers to increase demand. This may make many electronic goods like TVs, fridges, and smartphones cheaper. Experts believe that the trade war will make goods coming from China to the US more expensive, which is likely to cause a huge drop in demand. To increase demand, Chinese manufacturers are giving discounts to Indian companies.
