Google has officially launched their Google Store in India. This is big news for Pixel fans, as Google will now sell their devices directly to consumers via the Google Store in India. Until now, Google relied on third-party retailers like Reliance Digital, Flipkart, Amazon, and Croma to sell its devices.

Google promises a pixel price promise which means, if you spot a lower price at select retail partners then the customers can get a partial refund to match that price. So if you are planning to get a pixel device, Google store could give you the best deal possible.
To celebrate the launch, Google is also offering special deals, cutting prices across its Pixel lineup. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which was priced at Rs 1,72,999, is now available for Rs 1,62,999.
The Pixel 9 Pro, originally Rs 1,09,999, is now Rs 99,999. Meanwhile, the Pixel 9, which was Rs 79,999, is now Rs 74,999.
For the Pixel 8 Pro, prices have been slashed from Rs 99,999 to Rs 62,999 which is honestly, one of the craziest deals. On the other hand, for the budget-oriented Pixel 8a, the new price is now Rs 34,999.
To make the deals even sweeter, Google is offering up to 24 months of no-interest EMI options along with store credits on select purchases. HDFC credit card users can also avail instant cashback on certain transactions. Additionally, customers can enjoy exchange bonuses when they trade in eligible devices, making it easier and more affordable to upgrade.
This move of bringing the Google Store to India clearly shows that Google is trying to expand in the Indian market. According to some rumors, Google might soon open its first-ever retail stores outside the US right here in India. This is highly likely as they want to compete against Apple, which already has two stores in India. Google is also doubling down on India’s premium smartphone market and even manufactures Pixel phones locally to boost availability. The new online store complements Google’s existing strategy and strengthens their positioning.
