NEW DELHI: Crossing the one million mark for the first time, personal computer sales touched 12.58 lakh units during the first half of the current fiscal, registering a growth of 32 per cent over the same period a year ago.
With sound macro-economic conditions and buoyant buying sentiment in the market, MAIT has revised its PC sales growth projection for 2003-04 to 30 per cent from its earlier 20 per cent to touch 30 lakh units.
"The turnaround in PC sales can be attributed to price drops, increased consumption by telecom, banking, financial services and ITeS companies," Manufacturers Association of Information Technology said in its industry performance review for the first half of 2003-04.
