man getting such sites/festive offers would not be a problem, it's the govt. tax that is levied on these items that make these items costly. Manufacturer/importer has to pay excise/import duty which obviously he includes in the price, and after that during purchase we again have to pay taxes -- end result they are too costly.

but then again u cannot blame the govt altogether. by putting taxes the govt protects the indian manufacturers. if the imported stuff is out of bounds due to price, then customers will go towards home manufactured products thus developing indian industries. the intent is good but the implementation is not. they should rather try to lure the companies and help them open manufacturing units in india, but then would we trust "made in india" above "made in taiwan diffused in germany"??

i do not think any indian comany produces lcd's, so lets say the govt. lowers taxes on lcd-s so we and all others buy good lcd's cheaply and enjoy. now after some days an indian industrialist wants to venture into this lcd business... so now since we have better lcd's at our disposal, he will have a tremendous competetion to get into the market, which might be too much for a startup company in which case he will close his shop.
that does seem to be a stupid excuse though, but i think thats what the indian govt thinks.

i dont think the indian government really thinks buddy.. the taxes are an excuse for money an tats tat..

although i dont really think its just the govt to blame for high prices india.. i also think the dealers/ distributors have higher margins over here.. and plus the fact tat here in india there are like layers of middlemen which only adds to the alrready treacherous prices..

the low price in us is becoz its over saturated..they have mall next to each other..and competition is so fierce that such prices come.......here there is ample opportunity to earn...hence they charge as much as they could......
See i bought a 3600+ proccy here for 3.4k 6 months bak...but it has a label of price quoting 24k.......now in customes would any idiot beleive the piece being sold here is that cheap....its obvious...they bring mass container here and sell stuffs at whtever margin they want(custom all all name shit....they get a plasma and they wont ask whts within container)......hence its always win win situation for importers.....thats the reason so much money is put in india asia....u get more return
