Yesterday’s Union Budget 2026 has officially made premium electronics more affordable in India. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a cut in Basic Customs Duty (BCD) on mobile phones and chargers from 20% to 15%, alongside a massive slash in personal import duties from 20% to 10%.
Combined with the Amazon Valentine’s Day Sale (Feb 7–14), this creates a rare “Double Discount” window to grab high-end tech at record-low prices.
