POCO has increased the prices of several smartphones in India by up to Rs 3,000 following the Diwali shopping period. The price revisions mark a sudden shift for shoppers looking to purchase budget and mid-range devices from the brand in the Indian market.
The most substantial price increases target select variants of the POCO C85X 5G and the POCO M8X 5G, which have both seen their prices rise by as much as Rs 3,000. Other models in the company’s lineup have also been hit by the adjustments, including the POCO C81X 4G.
For consumers shopping after the festive promotional period, these price hikes directly alter the value proposition of POCO’s entry-level and mid-tier options. Anyone who delayed their purchase past the holiday sales cycle will now face higher costs across affected C-series and M-series models.
The revised pricing officially takes effect in India starting November 15, 2026. Consumers looking to buy these devices will see the updated price tags reflected across online storefronts and retail channels starting on that date.
