Look, if you’ve been waiting to snag a MacBook without draining your entire life savings, Croma just dropped a bomb. Their Republic Day sale—running until January 26—is basically a scavenger hunt for discounts. And here’s the kicker: the MacBook Air M4 is somehow sitting at an effective price of ₹53,913.
The thing is, you have to do some “math gymnastics” to get there. It’s not a straight-up price tag.

The MacBook “Math” (How to hit ₹53,913)
It’s an ongoing situation where you stack benefits like a pro.
-
Student Discount: You need a valid student ID to start. That’s the first hurdle.
-
Bank Cashback: Swipe the right card (HDFC or Tata Neu usually) and you get ₹10,000 back.
-
The Exchange Hustle: Trade in your old, dusty laptop. You get up to ₹13,000 for the device itself.
-
The Bonus: Croma then slaps an additional ₹10,000 exchange bonus on top.
-
Result: You’re paying roughly half of the original ₹99,900 sticker price. Or nothing.

Other Ground-Level Steals
I was looking at the TV section, and the price drops are a bit messy but wild.
-
The Big Screens: Samsung’s 65-inch Neo QLED? Dropped from ₹1.75 lakh to ₹94,990. That’s a massive pivot. TCL and LG are doing similar deep cuts—TCL’s 55-inch is basically being given away at ₹36,990. Those too.
-
The iPhone Situation: If you buy an iPhone 17 Pro (512GB+) with Apple Care+, they’re throwing in AirPods worth ₹12,900 for free. It’s a bundle play.
-
Android Moves: The Samsung Galaxy A56 is falling under the ₹30k mark (effective price ₹28,499) if you play the exchange game.

Field Notes Observation
What draws people there is the 60% off claim, but let’s be real—the best deals are the “bundled” ones. You buy the Oppo Reno 15, you get Enco Buds 3 Pro Plus for free. It’s a lot of “if you do X, you get Y.”
The sale is live nationwide across Croma stores. If you’re going, bring your student ID and your old tech. It’s the only way the numbers actually make sense.
