GST hike makes smartphones more expensive in India: Here's what Samsung, Xiaomi, Apple, Vivo phones cost now

The GST rate on smartphones has been raised to18-percent, up from 12-percent.

April 06, 2020 / 17:46 IST

OEMs have hiked prices of their smartphones in India as of April 1, 2020. The move came after the government increased the GST rate on smartphones to 18 percent, up from 12 percent.

The move has seen India’s leading smartphone brands, including Apple, Vivo, Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, Realme, and Nokia, to increase prices of their devices across all price ranges. The GST rate hike has been intensified with the increase in prices of smartphone components due to the lockdown enforced as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and depreciating value of the Indian rupee against the USD.

So, let’s take a look at the revised prices of popular smartphones across India’s most popular brands.
