How we price this in India
India national base ranges come from named Indian AC-service and parts sources, in rupees and never converted from another currency. India's residential market is split and window air conditioning — hot-and-cold split models carry the heating-mode pages that exist — and metro-to-metro variance is large, so these are honest national bands, not fake city precision. We localize with PLFS regional wage relatives (there is no Indian equivalent of the U.S. Regional Price Parity, so the price and overhead terms stay at the national baseline). GST is 18% on repair services, but many small or composition-scheme shops charge none — treat 18% as a ceiling. Refrigerant handling falls under the ODS Rules. The localization method and named, dated sources are on the methodology page.
