AIMRA Chairman Kailash Lakhyani said the price hike trend is “severely impacting” the buying behaviour of people. ​”Consumers are opting for second-hand, refurbished devices, or servicing their old phones to delay new purchases, while many are holding back for festive offers. However, waiting may backfire, as today’s price is still cheaper than tomorrow’s rate,” he added.
