This information has been reportedly obtained from the emails sent by the Apple authorised dealers to their customers.
The launch price for Apple iPhone 6 (16GB) variant in India is said to be Rs. 53,500, while the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus will be priced at Rs. 62,500 (16GB storage variant).

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus were launched on September 9 receiving over 4 million pre-orders within 24 hours, and the weekend sales surpassed 10 million. The launch was not a cakewalk for Apple as the it was slammed with the #bendgate controversy, and string of bugs in the iOS 8, which comes pre-installed on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. We had exclusively reported that the iPhone 6 Plus was listed on Airtel's official website, though no pricing or launch details were provided.
