At the same time, in this year’s budget, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has made electronics products even more affordable. He also talked about improving broadband services, including AI.Let us know what announcements have been made related to technology and electronics.
Will smartphones and AI be more expensive?
The Indian government is planning to tax AI, data centers, and semiconductors, but it is unlikely to affect the general public. The main objective of the government is to develop these sectors. Therefore, various tax concessions are being given.
However, despite the tax on the semiconductor industry, it is not going to have much impact on the prices of smartphones and laptops. This clearly means that the new technology in India will not be expensive, but it can expand even faster.
Mobile batteries will be cheaper.
In the last budget, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had announced making mobile phones, laptops, and tablets cheaper.
At the same time, Budget 2025 has also talked about making electronic devices such as LCD TVs and LED TVs cheaper. Apart from this, lithium batteries have also been made cheaper, which will also make mobile batteries cheaper. In such a situation, people will not face any problem.
