According to c, Managing Director of Bharath Electronics and Appliances, sales started shooting up since mid-February and peaked in March. Purchase of air-conditioners has doubled and that of air coolers has increased by even 200 percent compared to the same period last year. Customers from rural and semi-urban areas are also buying ACs and air coolers and sales are expected to be brisk till the monsoon sets in, he says.
