Personal computer sales during the first half of the current fiscal (April-September) saw a modest 12 per cent growth over the same period a year ago, touching 3.69 million units.
However, compared with the second half (October-March) of the last fiscal, number of computers sold in the first half of the current fiscal has declined by nine per cent in terms of unit.
In the October 2007-March 2008 period, the number of personal computers sold were four million units.
