You need to talk to someone who lives there. TVs made for the US run on 110 to 120 volt alternating current at a frequency of 60 Hertz (60 cycles per second). If the line voltage and frequency does not match you would need a hefty converter to power it and that converter would have to output 60 Hertz. THEN there is the problem of the TV channels. They might not use the same TV channels or method of broadcasting them. I would suggest you buy the TV there. It would be a lot less trouble. Same goes for any appliances especially refrigerators, washing machines, dryers and the like that use motors.

Yes it will work for sure provided you need a different wire for it coz the socket systems are different in India. You an get this wire form the same shop you brought your TV and if not ask them which other shop can you get it. Its better if you find it here I don't think you will find it in India.
