Cables and chargers in T2 are easiest at Croma
Croma sits in Bengaluru’s Terminal T2, in the main departures shopping zone after security, so you can plug gaps in your tech kit without exiting the secure area. It runs through typical flight banks from early morning to late evening, tracking the T2 schedule rather than strict posted hours, but staff usually keep the shutters up until most international departures clear.
Expect mid-range Indian retail pricing: power banks in the ₹1,500–₹3,000 bracket, basic USB-C and Lightning cables under ₹1,000, and entry-level headphones starting around ₹1,200. It’s a standard Croma mix, so you’ll see brands like Boat, JBL, Sony, and house-brand accessories lined up on peg walls near the centre of the store.
The sweet spot here is last-minute essentials: 3-pin India plug adapters for around ₹500, Type-C laptop chargers, SD cards, and basic laptop sleeves that fit 13–15 inch machines. Bigger-ticket items like tablets and cameras show up, but choice is thinner than a city Croma, and anything niche or color-specific is hit-or-miss on stock.
Staff in T2 are used to tight connections, so card payments (including foreign cards and UPI QR for Indian accounts) are processed quickly at the single front register. GST-inclusive pricing is on the shelf tags, so you don’t lose time doing mental math before boarding announcements start calling your row.
Tip: Check your seatback power and cable type at the gate screen or app before heading over; walk to Croma once, buy the exact cable or adapter you need, and skip the pricier gadget stands closer to boarding zones.
