Due to massive taxes for pre-built smartphones and less taxes for components(A tactic effectively employed to pressure manufactures to make their phone in India), top tier iPhones cost the highest in India. When these are manufactured in the country, it should match the price of other countries.

But that doesn't mean it will become affordable, Apple has positioned itself as a luxury brand & is said to have the largest markup among smartphone manufacturers.

Indians looking for cost/value will always have better alternative, but for those 'Who value themselves upon what others see in their hands' will burn lesser cash than before.
