Looks like it. If you make a bulk order in the thousands then the cost price is typically half what its sold for. Given this differential i'm not sure how significant a role rupee devaluation plays in setting the MRP. Rupee devalues by 20% you expect a bump by the same. Though i expect the vendors to eat that difference to a certain extent.
Note the cost difference between sourcing from vietnam vs korea. Almost 10k more. Difference in labour price i suppose. The units from korea are for testing & evaluation, the ones from vietnam for retail. Once that supply ramps up the price will come down.

Ah, we have a wise guy in the house. I've been here long enough to look at the site before demanding a link. The only discounted price is see is http://www.shopclues.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3-n9000-white.html
Which is a tad shy of the claimed 45k pricing.

Thanks for calling me WISE.....The party is over, If u cannot find the deal then it simply means that it has been withdrawn/ended.....Wait for sometime and there will be more deals available soon.

Seems the offer is now 49,449. Perhaps street prices will be lower than pre-order prices.

Note Series have their fans especially women (for reasons I am unable to fathom, prob'ly its utility as a mirror) .. And in a country where "Bada hai to Behtar hai.." is an ingrained mindset, I am sure Note 3 will have its takers, even at 60,000 INR..
Not a hater though, but I wouldn't ever buy a Exynos based phone again, even if it blows away everything in terms of performance & benchmarks (read: fudged).

They have handbags. Though there are quite a number of men who have no problems with a 5.7 inch screen, fits easily in a shirt pocket. When i think about it some more, a bigger screen is always better.
People here say, must be able to do one handed operations. That is only for people that are used to one hand operations and have come from smaller screens. 4.7 - 5 inch is a an absolute max for them. But people going for phablets are coming from the opposite direction, they are used to laptops or better. They would prefer to get away with the biggest screen possible. See the Z ultra or mega 5.8/6.3, those a still bigger screens and evidently there is interest.
Why ?
I get the fudged bit, samsung is known to have tweaked their phones to do better at benchmarks.
People need to bear in mind that the note 3 is a 32GB device and not 16GB.
This will up the cost some like with iphones. Rs. 10k difference between 16/32/64.

@blr_p: Did you just say 5.7" will fit in a shirt pocket? 
Lol, I couldn't even fit the Note 2 in my pants pocket without the realization of carrying some small brick! And nor it's true people who are used with Laptops will like bigger screens. I always like big things, I'm almost always using my desktop, and laptop in office, still I don't like the size of Note lines, yeah they sure are targeted for its own lined people, but it's just not for people like me. And also I too like to use a mobile phone like a mobile phone, i.e. using it easily with one hand, which is next to impossible for Note lineups, however they are called 'Phablet' for a reason.
And about that ridiculous price, there's nothing to say, even if it came with 128 GB storage or 16 GB RAM, there's no point in buying a V12 for a Tata Nano.
