Importing only makes sense if the US price is discounted, the product is hand-carried, and the buyer accepts eSIM/model and service-eligibility checks.

Verdict
Why buy in India?
Buy in India because the estimated landed cost from USA is not meaningfully lower than the India price, while local invoice, support, and returns are simpler.
Why import?
Importing from USA may become worth checking only if the foreign price drops meaningfully, the Indian price rises, or a clean hand-carry route removes most extra risk.
