GST 2.0: Business as usual for electronics stores as shoppers just browse

KOLKATA: Consumer electronics sales started on a lukewarm note on the first day of GST 2.0 with retailers and brands saying they handled increased enquiries for air conditioners and large-screen televisions, but it was mostly business as usual without any major surge in sales.

Companies are however optimistic that sales would start rebounding from later this week after consumers compare product prices on e-commerce marketplaces Amazon and Flipkart which will start their annual festive sales from Tuesday.
