I really hope they do release MI3/Redmi 1s locally.
Redmi 1s does lag I saw in some vidoes, but maybe as those ones are the mediatek ones? Or maybe they are on android 4.3? Miui 6 might make it smoother

One more thing.
So far 20k units get sold out in 2-3 secs, which is really fast compared to other countries sales,I don't really think the entire 20k units are sold.Flipkart might be building an Inventory for future sales and selling only 5-10k phones out of the 20k?
So maybe in 1 month or so they can have roughly 50k units to sell
no they are selling full units minus the units needed for replacement..
people are using automated scripts which allows them to buy it in 0.3 secs on a fast connection..
its not only individual buyers that are buying but resellers in many quantities from different accounts as well which are selling them on ebay/olx for profit margins..
this phone is hyped more than apple / moto g / and samsung products so selling out in 3-5 sec is normal especially when you have this less inventory and all india sales exclusive to fk .. plus also remember there is 1 week time in between sales .. this increases the demand much more
motorola sold 10,00,000 units in 5 months , moto g share would have been 6,00,000-7,00,000 units in 5 months meaning around 1,20,000-1,30,000 units per month
and xiaomi has managed 70,000 in 1 month due to limited supply while having 3-4x more demand than moto G, so its not surprising it is going out in 5 sec
plus no phone would be released locally as it would require giving dealers/distributors margin and xiaomi is only online sales in most other countries and very few offline sales as well that is why they are able to sell it so cheaply with no advertisements and middlemen costs
