The current cost here is acceptable, 5pcs 5x4cm board for 1k, and trust me price has gone down a lot here in India, of course China is better, and they will always stay better in future than us.
Robu is great, but my only complaint with them is they erased all my order history from 2019, now it's only showing orders from 2024, bad move. I lost all my credibility, I had so many orders.
For this kind of stuff always buy from mouser, digikey, element14, rsdelivers, etc, most Indian sites don't offer datasheets of discrete components, even when they do provide upon asking, they just get it from google whichever feels good to them and send it to you. So you never know what you gonna get.
