You’ll find a wide selection of appliances, electronics, and hardware in Mumbai. Some appliances and electronics are slightly pricier than they are in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Because of import duties, it may be worth buying large appliances in India instead of shipping them from home. Hardware is an easy find in various stores and bazaars, where price usually correlates with quality.
