This festive season will bring no cheer to consumer durable companies eyeing the capital city of Delhi for high sales offtake, thanks to the sealing drive targeted at commercial establishments in certain parts of the city.
Durable sales in the metro are expected to see a 50% dip during the festive season, lament durable companies and dealers.
Says OP Batra, managing director of Delhi-based Navin Electronics, Since the durable, retailing, malls and grocery shops will be sealed in most parts of Delhi based on the directive of the Supreme Court, the city will witness a 50% dip in durables sales this festive season. LG Electronics India has 70 dealers based in the affected areas in Delhi. Girish Rao, vice president (sales and marketing), LG Electronics India said, While Delhi contributes 6-7% to our overall sales turnover during the festival season, the recent Supreme Courts directive on sealing the shops will definitely have an adverse impact on LGs durable sales. Last year, the festival season nationally contributed 30% to our overall sales turnover.
