Kolkata: Sony India has dropped prices of its televisions in India by up to 20% to spur demand amidst the Covid-19 pandemic and has launched an online shopping service connecting its exclusive stores across the country.

The company has cut prices anywhere from Rs 2,000 on the smaller screen televisions going up to Rs two lakh on a flagship 85-inch model apart from rolling out long tenure no-cost EMI schemes and bundling offers. It has launched a new 85-inch model at Rs 5.9 lakh bringing down its earlier pricing structure of Rs 10 lakh in this screen size.
