Why Did Sony Hike Prices for PlayStation Plus Subscription in India?

Sony has not yet clarified or given any reason for the reported price increase of the PlayStation Plus subscription in India. One of the causes could be a depreciation of rupee against dollar. This depreciation has taken place quite fast over the last one year. In other regions of the world, Sony did hike the prices of PlayStation Plus subscriptions, but it did not hike the prices of the annual plan. However, in India, even the 12 months or annual plan has seen an increase in price.
