Smartphones, TVs and laptops can be cheaper, the government has taken this big step

Smartphone And Laptop Could Become Cheaper: Consumers struggling with high prices of smartphones, smart TVs and laptops can get big relief in the coming days. Taking a big step, the central government has abolished the Basic Customs Duty (BCD) on the materials used in making smartphones, laptops, smartwatches, fitness bands and smart TVs. This will make it cheaper for companies to make smartphones and other devices and customers can also benefit from this. Therefore, it is expected that the prices of devices like smartphones and laptops may come down in the next few days.

Exemption will continue till March, 2029

The government has abolished the basic duty to boost domestic production. Now the materials used in making display assembly, lithium-ion cells and inductor coil modules will become cheaper. This exemption will continue till March 31, 2029. Through this, the government wants to increase the production of electronics goods in the country and reduce the cost of companies. As of now, India is largely dependent on China and Vietnam for display assembly and lithium-ion cells. The government has taken this decision to end this dependence. This will increase domestic production and reduce dependence on foreign countries.
