Channel peace restored in TN

After days of protest over the discounted prices offered to Electronics
Corporation of Tamil Nadu (ELCOT) by vendors like Lenovo, Samsung and Dell, the
situation in Tamil Nadu's channel fraternity is returning to normalcy. Lenovo
and Dell were accused of providing products at low-cost to ELCOT.

Owing to this reaction from the channel, vendors withdrew their offer to
ELCOT. A spokesperson for Lenovo said, “Lenovo has retreated from the notebook
offer as we did not receive even a single order from ELCOT. We took up the deal
only because it was exclusively for students.”

Similarly, Samsung had decided to offer three-year warranty for its products
sold to ELCOT, while partners were given the same products with just one-year
warranty.
