Even at brick and mortar stores, the television models are being sold below 15 percent of the retail price, reports the Economic Times.

Known for its low-priced smartphones, Micromax forayed into the TV space in 2012, and the smart TV segment last year. The company is already offering some of the cheapest TV models on the market.
A full-HD 43-inch TV from Micromax, for instance, sells at under Rs 23,000 ($350). Similar model with 4K offering sells at around Rs 40,000 ($610).
In comparison, the cheapest 43-inch full-HD Sony Bravia TV costs around Rs 49,500 ($760), whereas a similar model with 4K display panel retails at Rs 83,400 ($1,280). Samsung and LG have similar offerings.
The international giants have seen local competition steal the smartphone market with similar offerings. Once an undisputed mobile brand, Samsung now fights with Micromax for the tentpole position in the country, with another local company Intex quickly closing the gap.
The TV market in India has also attracted Chinese player LeEco which is selling its TV lineup at somewhat better pricing than Sony, LG and Samsung. Xiaomi, which is known for its low-priced TVs is prepping to bring its lineup in the country soon, according to industry sources.
