💬 Note: Smartphone prices in Nepal are typically 15%–25% higher than in India due to import taxes, distribution costs, and currency differences.
Why Are Smartphones More Expensive in Nepal?
- Import Taxes: High duty on electronics raises retail cost.
- Low Sales Volume: Fewer buyers mean higher per-unit cost.
- Limited Distribution: Fewer official vendors than India.
- Currency Gap: NPR is weaker than INR, impacting pricing.
Advice:
- If you have friends or family visiting India, you can save 15–20% by buying phones there.
- But remember: warranty is usually only valid in the country of purchase.
