Why Your Next PC in India May Cost More in 2026

2026 is opening with a twist for India’s computer industry: demand for AI PCs is surging, PLI is pushing more “Make in India” hardware, but global AI infrastructure is soaking up memory and chips, putting pressure on PC supply and pricing. Analysts now warn that PC shipments could decline and devices may get more expensive, even as Indian buyers still want to upgrade to AI-ready machines. ​

 

The big question for Indian businesses, retailers, and buyers is clear: how do you plan your 2026 hardware purchases when costs may rise, but delaying upgrades means missing the AI and productivity wave sweeping across India’s PC market? ​

 

Here’s what smart players are doing right now:

·         Locking in contracts with distributors and “Make in India” partners benefiting from the expanded PLI budget for electronics and IT hardware. ​

·         Prioritising AI-capable notebooks and desktops in refresh cycles, as enterprises in India are already shifting procurement towards AI-ready PCs. ​

·         Mixing new AI PCs with refurbished or older premium models to control budgets while still upgrading fleets in phases. ​

 

This strategy helps them avoid sudden price shocks, stay compliant with corporate IT roadmaps, and keep employees on hardware that can actually run modern AI workloads. Many Indian organisations are using 2025–26 as a bridge period to get their entire workforce future-ready on AI and advanced digital tools. ​

 

If you’re in India’s computer ecosystem, whether you sell PCs, manage IT, or buy for your team, 2026 is not the year to wait and watch. Plan your AI PC and mixed-new-plus-refurb strategy now, tie up with PLI-aligned and local partners, and turn a challenging price environment into a competitive advantage. ​
