Here we are not defending Xiaomi for launching a 90,000 NPR device in Nepal. Recently Xiaomi Nepal hiked the price on some of their models because of the strong USD exchange rate. While talking about India, GST hikes in Import duties for mobile phones has forced the OEMs to increase their prices. While companies who assemble their devices inside India are saving a few bucks and are providing devices at lower rates.
