Maximus V Formula/Extreme mainboards are not available in India for now. If you need one stay in touch with Asus support team. Here for those who are eagerly waiting for this board to arrive/launch in India.

Dear Mr.removed,

ASUS India is not able to get allocation for Maximus V Extreme for a while
now, that’s why the delay. However, We did have some quantity of Maximus V
Formula coming last week. Please let us know your contact details. I will
ask somebody from the distributor's HQ side to call you and update on the
price.


Best Regards.

P.S: ₹22,650/- + tax = About 23,000/- (Delhi)| for non ThunderFX variant. Asus has no plan for now to bring ThunderafX model in India due to low deman(most likely).
