they are approx. Prices..
I added 500 to 1000 Rs. variation becoz of inflation in Indian rupees to American dollars..

 

[The "A" Factor]

My guess is it's gonna cost around 20K INR for sure .

It been a tradition to hike the prices of mid-range phones in Indian market than other markets....

The legendary Nexus devices which Google subsidizes also costs much more here ...
Nexus 4 still costs around 24k here ...
Nexus 5 launched at 29K (almost 5K more than rest markets) .

The Xperia C was rumored to be around 12-15 K (as in other markets), but Sony launched it at 20K Tag .

So I wouldn't be surprised to find Moto G 16 GB version to cost around 20K here in India .

Also it's gonna be Dual sim version that will be released here .

But I think it's still worth it , because it will get Kitkat and has a vanilla android experience !

Moto G 8gb

Hope they launch at a price tag of 12-13K , would be a good Side kick to my nexus 5 :fingers-crossed:

 

[techmachi]

But how about buying abroad and bringing it inhere..?? I knw its a big deal for these range. I hope i could afford one..

8gb - 12 k, 16 gb 15k

Yes, we are getting it on January 2014 and it will cost 12 K rs for 8 gb and 15 k rs for 16 gb. to compete Samsung and other low cost mobile companies.

 

[creagrox]

It wont meet half its projections if it gets anywhere above the 15-16k mark. Thats the market value of budget smartphones in here.

Motorola said in the release that Moto G will come at 1/3 Price of the High-End Devices like Note 3, S4 and iPhone 5s .
They all almost cost at round 50k so doing the Math (tax incl). Moto G will range from 18K to 22k (18k for 8gig ,20k for 16 gig,22k for Dual SIM 16 gig,20k for Dual SIM 8gig)

thats too high... for what they are offering even they know that they have to at least match the quotes of local players like micromax even if they cant go below there prices...
expect 13k-14k... thats the sweet spot ... anything below this will be a killer sale for moto... anything higher they'll loose half the customers..

 

[techmachi]

Yep bro... will dual sim add another feature.?? Like-SD slot..
20 k is more.. I will give up buying if it prices more than 16k..
Greedy

MMX can prize there phone well because there profits are in Rs. They import Chipsets from Mediatek and make phone here (I think).They have to pay less tax than international flagships.
Moto will not prize it at 13k-14k because of it's specs ( it has the best ppi display,Qualcom Snapdragon 400 & 1 gig of ram,water-resistant nano-coating on the inside and outside,Gorrila glass).
Phones at this prize range rarely has Qualcom and this good specs.
If Moto lowers it's profit margin for India (which it will not I think) then it is possible for the price range to be between 14k-20k for various models (8gig,16gig,Dual sim 8 & 16gig)
Conclusion:Moto is not a new brand and not to forget Moto is the inverter of Mobile phone and Owned by Google so it won't lower it's status with launch price to be this low.I would be more than happy if the prize is 13k-14k but I don't think it will happen.

valid reasoning my friend but lets not forget that the higher the price more likely that we'll prefer to pay a little more and go for nexus 4 or nexus 5... Nexus 4 is still a cheap alternative which is still a kick ass phone..

That's true people will buy Nexus 4 or Sony Xperia SP. In India, phones are not really Value for Money compared to other nation and the Credit for this goes to INR vs USD and Indian Government for heavy taxing even to local manufactures like MMX.If Govt. gives subsidies to MMX and other Indian makers , they will out-grow with best specs and price to the International Flagships.

 

[nvyaniv]

i'd like to see these companies setup manufacturing in inda.. give these companies tax benifits .. and they in turn will drive our ecnomy and create jobs.. and we can enjoy cheap phones... win win win..

Well I was following news one day, they were showing Narendra Modi's speech,the point that caught my attention was "Mobiles". He said that making mobiles is not rocket science , even then 90% of the market is of foreign company.With help from Government , India can make phone and not only make but Export them too.
I think he is unaware but MMX is exporting it's phones to UAE,etc. I know how Indian Politicians are, so not confident but if NaMo becomes PM we may have many cheap phone

Your math is quite off Unless you added some more for some reason.

One-third of 50k is still 16.7k.

16 GB variant will ranges from 14k to 15k
8 GB variant will ranges from 11.5k to 12.5k
DUal sim version will ranges more than 15k

This is wrong. There is no 16gb with single chip. The 16gb comes with 2 chips already and it's the most expensive here in Brazil.

The versions are:

8gb 1chip < 8gb 2chip < 16gb 2chip

 

[techmachi]

Wow thats great...
Thanks dude.. can you tell me the 16Gb variants price
