Hello,

 

RS Components have an international website, i went there and selected the India website.

http://in.rsdelivers.com/

 

 

Here's a quick search i did for 'Soldering Iron':

 Hopefully it'll will be cheaper for you to buy from there than to buy from the states and ship it over.

I'm just a soul who is up to no good.

Is your power 220v or 120v over there? I don't really recommend those I'd go for a variable temp soldering iron but if all you're doing in wires then a simple 50 watt iron would work. Get one that you can get more tips for or you'll be S.O.L.
