"This winter season, the sale of geysers shot up by more than 15 times for three months, which is the sale- period of October and start of the chill-period of November- December. Also, we saw new brands like Sansui launching geysers," said Nitin Malhotra, who is also the co-founder of the company. The electronic home- appliance market cheer per- meated the apparel industry too. While leading garment brands like Woodland and Cantabil witnessed a growth of 15 per cent and 20 per cent, respectively, compared to the last December, fashion retail chain 1-India Family Mart had their thermals, jackets and sweaters going out- of-stock frequently. "The mar- ket was slow during summer because of a slowdown and sen- timent shift. However, con- sumer sentiment improved dur- ing Diwali, but with this severe winter it has snowballed," said Harkirat Singh, MD of Aero Club, the makers and traders of brand Woodland. Retail sales were up by 10- 15 per cent compared to a year ago. Also, North and East India account for 60-65 per cent of sales for the retailers, he said.
