Srinagar, Jul 11 :\u00a0<\/strong>With heat wave continuing to grip the valley, the demand for cooling products, particularly air conditioners, has surged dramatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This summer season has seen sales of air conditioners more than double compared to previous years, as residents seek relief from the sweltering temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retailers and manufacturers alike are reporting unprecedented demand for air conditioning units, with many stores struggling to keep up with the surge in purchases<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 35.7 Degree Celsius, Capital city Srinagar last week recorded the highest temperature of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current heat wave has made air conditioning a necessity rather than a luxury for many households.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Showkat Ahmad, owner of Dar Electronics who deals with sale of ACs, said that Kashmir, for the first time witnessed such a huge demand for air conditioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNever before has Kashmir seen such a huge demand for ACs. The weather is extremely hot, and people are opting to buy ACs to keep cool. My entire stock of ACs has sold out, and now I am waiting for fresh supplies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor the past few days, stocks have not arrived in Srinagar, and customers are eagerly waiting to purchase ACs,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahmad said that the demand for ACs has almost doubled this summer. \u201cWe get orders from many districts. This summer heat wave is prevailing across the valley even in the mountainous regions due to which cooling appliances are in very much demand,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muneer Ahmad, another dealted noted that ACs, once primarily purchased by hoteliers and the economically privileged, are now becoming common household appliances in Kashmir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAir conditioners are now being bought for homes in Kashmir. Earlier it would be mostly bought for mosques and hotels in Kashmir,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demand for other cooling appliances, including fans, coolers, and refrigerators, has also surged this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are seeing good sales of fans, fridges, and coolers this season. It is expected that sales might increase further in July and August when the weather remains very hot in Kashmir,\u201d said Furqaan Ahmad, a dealer\u2014(KNO)<\/strong><\/p>\n
