Xiaomi India hiked the prices of its two most cost-effective smartphones - the Redmi 6A and Redmi 6 and even on the selected TV and powerbank models. On Twitter, Xiaomi said that it was important to increase the cost due to "a significant rise in input cost" because the rupee has "depreciated against the dollar by nearly 15 percent".
The initial launch price of Xiaomi Redmi 6A (2GB+16GB) was Rs 5,999 which has now been increased to Rs 6,599, i.e. an increase of Rs 600. Xiaomi said that the variant- 2GB RAM+32GB ROM of Xiaomi 6A will now cost Rs 7,499 i.e. an increase of Rs 500.
During the launch of the Redmi 6A in India in early September, the Xiaomi had mentioned that the price of the smartphone may be re-evaluated upwards in few months if the value of Rupee continues to fall, so this move was not surprising. But the cost hike of other products comes as a surprise for the Mi fans.
