Motorola India has not revealed any possible reasons for slashing price of the Moto G (Gen 3), but the recent launch of the Lenovo Vibe K4 Note can be expected to be one of the reasons. In our first impressions of the Vibe K4 Note, we found the Moto G (Gen 3) was one of the biggest competitors.

The company is also running some limited period offers with discounts. The Motorola Moto X Play, which launched at Rs. 18,499 for the 16GB variant and Rs. 19,999 for the 32GB variant, is available for Rs. 16,499 and Rs. 17,999 respectively.
