Google Pixel 2 XL has reportedly received a price cut in India and is now available at a new official MRP of Rs. 45,499 for the base 64GB storage variant. That translates into an almost 40 percent drop from its official launch price of Rs. 73,000 announced back in November last year. To recall, the Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are available across offline retailers as well as online (exclusively via Flipkart). Google has not officially announced price cuts for any Pixel 2 variant in India, but it can be expected anytime around the October 9 Pixel 3 launch event.

The development of the Pixel 2 XL price cut comes to us via Mumbai-based electronics retailer Mahesh Telecom who has been accurate about smartphone price cuts in the Indian market in the past. Gadgets 360 has independently confirmed with Google that this is indeed an official price cut for the Pixel 2 XL.
