The Rs 6,500-crore Indian fan industry has recorded ten per cent de-growth in sales in the first quarter of this fiscal due to apprehensions over implementation of GST.
According to Rohit Mathur, outgoing chairman, Indian Fan Manufacturers Association, May, June and July are crucial months for the industry, with nearly 30-35 per cent of sales coming from these months.
