Budget 2026: Two more years of easier duty on key inputs for electronics
The budget eased the pressure on prices of televisions, microwaves and other consumer electronics by extending concessional or zero customs duty on key imported components.
The exemptions, which were due to expire in March, will now remain in place for another two years, according to the memorandum to the Finance Bill, 2026. The move removes the risk of near-term price increases that manufacturers had been weighing in case the benefits were to be withdrawn.
