TVs, ACs to get costlier from Oct 1; buyers may still buy products at old price

Air-conditioners, LED TVs, and washing machines are expected to become more expensive due to rising input costs. Companies attribute the price increase to higher costs of raw materials and freight. Some manufacturers are concerned that price hikes might dampen festive demand, while others anticipate selling existing inventory at current prices. Price increases are scheduled from October 1, leading to cumulative hikes throughout the coming months.
