The group further said that the PC sales are forecast to be close to 6.5 million for the Indian fiscal year ending March 31.

The good news is that the laptop sales grew by 180 percent in the six months to September 30. The growth in desktop sales was about 8 percent. Microprocessor Company Intel has also said that the market is likely to see continues growth in sales of portable computers due to the flexibility they provide.
