India’s largest electronic company by sales, Samsung India said it has reported record sales growth in the Navratri-Dussehra period for premium smartphones and televisions, aided by the reduction in goods and services tax rates which has improved consumption sentiments.
A Samsung India spokesperson said while sales of premium smartphones, priced upwards of Rs 30,000, jumped 1.4 times versus the corresponding period last year, premium television sales went up two-fold.
