There is no word on the price-tag of 32GB Wi-Fi only version in the country right now.
Originally introduced on October 15, Google’s new Nexus 9 tablet sports a brushed metal body and has been made in partnership with Taiwan’s HTC. The tablet features 8.9-inch QXGA (2048x1536p) IPS display, dual-core 64-bit NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor, 2GB of RAM and Android 5.0 Lollipop.

On the imaging front, the Nexus 9 packs an 8MP f2.4 rear camera with LED flash and 1.6MP f2.4 front shooter.
The tablet will be released in White and Black colour options, however only Black version is currently listed on Google Play in India. There is no word on the availability information but it is expected that the tablet will go on sale sometime in November.
Official Nexus 9 cover for INR 2,900
Alongside the Nexus 9 tablet, Google has also listed the official Nexus 9 cover on Google Play in India. It carries a price-tag of INR 2,900 and will be released in Mint Indigo, Lime Stone and Black colour options in the country. There are other colour and material options as well as for the cover but they are not listed on the India Play Store right now.
The Nexus 9 cover can be folded to make a stand for the tablet at two different heights and also allows the users to click images using the tablet camera by just folding a section of the cover.
$399 onwards +shipping + customs + handling = reasonable price
Last Year when Google released nexus 5 32 gb which was also having base price 399$ it was sold in the playstore at 33000 INR. Samsung Tab S 8.4 inch with base price of 399$ costs INR 35000+. I dont understand the pricing policies followed by these companies. Shouldnt be they almost same when you add extra Tax and Shipping Charges? Or do they Profit more from Indians?
