A significant increase in the price of mobile phone accessories has been reported in Sri Lanka at present, the Sri Lanka Mobile Phone Importers and Sellers Association has revealed.
Association President Samitha Senarath told the media that there is a shortage of mobile phones in the country currently.
Stating that the purchasing of new mobile phones by the public has also drastically reduced, he said, however, prices of spare parts and mobile phone accessories have seen a significant increase.
“A battery that generally costs around Rs. 450 is now being sold at Rs. 1500 due to the current importation ban and current situation,” he added. (NewsWire)
