Why buy in India?
Buy in India because the estimated landed cost from Dubai is higher than the current India-side estimate, while warranty and invoice support are cleaner locally.
Why import?
Importing from Dubai may become worth checking only if the foreign price drops, the Indian price rises, or the buying route removes most extra risk.
