Xiaomi Price Hike: Smartphone Prices Increased in India Due to Memory Crisis; Check List of New Rates
Xiaomi has hiked prices for multiple smartphones in India, including the Xiaomi 17T and Redmi Note series, by up to Rs 5,000. Driven by an intense global memory and semiconductor shortage fueled by the AI boom, major tech brands continue adjusting retail values across their product portfolios.
Chinese technology brand Xiaomi has officially increased the retail prices of multiple popular smartphones across its lineup in India. The revision affects several devices ranging from the premium Xiaomi 17T to budget-friendly offerings under the Redmi Note and Redmi series, with price escalations spanning from Rs 1,000 to Rs 5,000 depending on the specific model and storage variant.
The widespread price adjustments are primarily being driven by an ongoing global memory crisis. The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure has caused a massive surge in worldwide demand for DRAM and NAND components used in AI datacentres, creating acute supply chain shortages. Consequently, major smartphone manufacturers including Samsung, Vivo, Poco, Nothing, and Realme have also been forced to pass rising component costs onto consumers in recent weeks.
