Despite a touchscreen issue affecting some Lumia 535 handsets that required the company to issue a fix, the device seems to doing great for Microsoft in India - at least in terms of shipments. The device was launched on November 26 and went on sale from November 28.
According to Zauba (via Nokiapoweruser), Microsoft India has imported a total of 502,468 Lumia 535 devices worth $30,303,313 (approximately Rs. 187 crores) so far, including 237,040 units in January itself.
"Bangalore Air Cargo accounted for 31.2 percent of imports followed by Delhi Air Cargo and Bombay Air Cargo which account for 28.8 percent and 20.5 percent of imports respectively," notes Zauba.
