Bangalore, India, Sept. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Television rentals are gaining ground across Delhi in 2026 as tenants on one-year leases weigh ₹20,000 to ₹60,000 smart TV prices against monthly plans that start at ₹440 for a 32-inch LED set and ₹768 for a 32-inch Smart Google TV. Rental platforms operating in the city, including Rentomojo, are seeing demand concentrated in Lajpat Nagar, Tilak Nagar, Moti Bagh, Palam, Naraina and Sagarpur, a pattern shaped by fixed-term postings, project-cycle housing and frequent moves between rented flats.

Delhi's rental housing market runs on short tenure horizons. Students around North Campus, government and PSU staff on transfer postings, and salaried professionals working in central Delhi routinely sign 11-month agreements and move within two years. For these households, the decision to rent a TV for a one-year stay turns less on screen preference and more on what happens to the set when the lease ends.
The ownership case carries costs well beyond the sticker price. A 32-inch smart television typically sells for around ₹20,000 and a 55-inch model for up to ₹60,000, before wall-mount installation, extended warranty, and out-of-warranty repairs to panels, boards and remotes. Moving a television between flats adds packing and transport charges each time, and used sets on resale platforms return a small fraction of their original price, particularly once a newer model year has launched. At Rentomojo's listed Delhi rates, an entry-level ₹20,000 smart TV equals roughly 26 months of rent on the 32-inch Smart Google TV, and a ₹60,000 55-inch set equals about 30 months of rent on the ₹1,989 Smart Google TV 55. For a household with a one-year horizon in Delhi, a rented television turns an asset that depreciates from the day of purchase into a fixed monthly outflow that ends when the stay does.
The ₹20,000 smart TV ownership outlay versus a ₹768/month rental plan now sits at the centre of the buy-or-rent calculation for tenants on 12-month Delhi leases. Rentomojo plans run from short tenures up to 36 months, with listed rates quoted on the longest tenure and shorter plans priced higher per month. Contracts can be closed early without a penalty, with rent charged only up to the closure date, and tenure can auto-extend when a posting runs longer than planned.
The Delhi catalogue spans screen sizes and budgets. A 32-inch LED TV rents at ₹440 a month, a 32-inch Smart LED TV at ₹689, and a 32-inch Smart Google TV with Chromecast, Google Assistant and Dolby Audio at ₹768. Mid-size options include a 43-inch Smart LED TV at ₹979 and a 43-inch 4K Ultra HD Smart Google TV at ₹1,249. Larger living rooms can take a 49-inch Smart Google TV at ₹1,699, a 55-inch Smart Google TV at ₹1,989 or a Samsung 55-inch Ultra HD set at ₹2,792 a month.
Booking a TV on rent in Delhi takes place online through the Rentomojo website or app: the customer selects a model and tenure, completes KYC, pays the deposit and schedules delivery. KYC requires a PAN card and a selfie, with additional documents requested on a case-by-case profile assessment. The security deposit is fully refundable and, on the 32-inch Smart Google TV, equals one month's rent at ₹768. Delivery and installation are free, with listed Delhi delivery windows of two to four days, and a set can be returned at the time of delivery with the deposit refunded. Rented televisions include free periodic maintenance, a damage waiver covering minor accidental damage, free relocation within and between Rentomojo's cities, and an annual option to swap the set for a newer model, which settles the upgrade question for renters who extend beyond a year.
Households comparing TV rental companies in Delhi typically assess the same variables: the monthly rate at their intended tenure, deposit size and refund timing, delivery and installation windows, maintenance response, and the cost of ending a contract early. Reviews of rental services across the segment tend to centre on these operational points rather than on the televisions themselves. Rentomojo is the largest player in India's organised home furniture and appliance rental market, according to its draft red herring prospectus filed on March 27, 2026, citing the Redseer Report, and operates alongside other platforms in the segment offering Delhi TV rentals. TV rental now forms part of the broader appliance-as-a-service economy taking shape across Indian metros.
In a city where many rental agreements run on 11-month terms, the television is shifting from a household asset to a service matched to the length of the lease. Renting at ₹440 to ₹2,792 a month removes the ₹20,000 to ₹60,000 upfront outlay, the repair exposure and the resale loss from the decision, while purchase remains the stronger choice for households settled in one home for three years or more. For tenants staying in Delhi for one year, the arithmetic favours renting. Television rental plans in Delhi are listed at https://www.rentomojo.com/delhi/appliances/rent-smart-google-tv-32/128324
