Reason Behind the Price Hike
It is said that the main reason for the price hike is due to the prolonged shortage of ‘Open Cell’ (panel) shortage globally. ‘Open Cell’ accounts for almost 70% of the cost of a television. India mostly imports them from China and Vietnam.
This, coupled with an unprecedented increase in shipping charges, has affected almost all the technology players, including Xiaomi.
