The 8GB variant costed around Rs.25,000 and the 16GB variant costed around Rs.28000 on Indian websites when it launched in USA, but later on the prices were increased gradually by the sellers seeing the demand. It still managed to get a sold out notice. And now if you were looking to buy it from elsewhere, it is available but at a higher price.
