Redmi 9A and Redmi 9A Sport price in India have been hiked by Rs. 300. As a result of the update, the two budget Redmi phones now start at Rs. 7,299 — up from Rs. 6,999. Xiaomi has held the increase in the pricing of smartphone components responsible for the latest revision and called it “inevitable.” The Redmi 9A was launched in India last year, while the Redmi 9A Sport debuted just in September. Both phones come with a 20:9 display and have an octa-core MediaTek Helio G25 SoC. They also include a single rear camera.

Xiaomi confirmed the price hike of the Redmi 9A and Redmi 9A Sport.

“Due to massive demand-supply mismatch, the majority of components used in smartphones have seen an upward movement in their prices. Unfortunately, due to such market dynamics, a surge in price is inevitable and it is further leading to a price hike on some of our models,” the company said in a prepared statement.

This is notably not the first time in the past few months when Xiaomi has increased the pricing of its budget phones in India. In September, the Chinese company hiked the prices of Redmi 9, Redmi 9 Power, Redmi 9 Prime, Redmi 9i, Redmi Note 10T, and Redmi Note 10S in the country.
