As you may know, the affordable Motorola Moto G was aimed for emerging markets. So was safe to assume that the device would be a big hit in countries like India. The handset has already been a popular choice for Indian consumers through grey market retailers. But the Moto G officially went on sale today and it sold out in less than one hour through the official retailer.Motorola opted for an exclusive deal in India, officially offering the Moto G only through Flipkart. The 16GB version of the Moto G was sold for Rs 13,999 (~$224) and the 8GB model was listed at Rs 12,499 (~$199). Both sold out in less than one hour, but it is unclear how many units were made available at launch. In an unofficial sale through Snapdeal yesterday, 1000 Moto G pre-orders were sold out in two hours.
Even through there is a high demand for the Moto G, Motorola has explained that it does have a plan for India, and part of that plan is to not flood the market with the Moto G. Instead, Motorola is taking a more cautious route in order to not put too much strain on the company's infrastructure. The Indian public may be hoping for a faster rollout of the device, but it looks like you may have to be patient for now.
