Gate-side electronics fix in T1
Right in BLR Terminal T1’s main retail stretch, Croma covers most last‑minute tech needs before security closes for late-night departures. It’s a full-format Indian electronics chain, shrunk down for airport use, so think cables, basic headphones, power banks, and small accessories rather than big-ticket TVs. Pricing tracks regular city-store tags more than tourist-gouge kiosks, so a charging cable won’t feel like a luxury purchase.
Croma in T1 usually runs through the main flight bank, roughly 06:00 to 23:00, matching domestic and regional schedules. You’ll see familiar brands on phone chargers and earphones, plus some budget options under Croma’s in‑house label. If your airline app crashes or your phone sits at 5% before boarding, this is the spot to reset your setup without leaving the terminal’s core area.
Expect airport markup on impulse buys but not outrageous levels: basic USB-C or Lightning cables sit in the ₹400–₹900 band, while decent wired earphones often land under ₹1,500. Skip larger gadgets that you could buy in Bengaluru city; warranty and service are easier in town, and prices outside the airport are usually softer by a noticeable margin.
One tip: check your cable and adapter situation at the gate, then walk to Croma in T1 with a short list. It keeps the stop under 10 minutes and avoids paying for duplicate items you already buried in a carry-on pocket.
