    Why are GPUs still so overpriced in India??

    As of April 2018 the GTX 1050ti is at around $200 while the 1060 3gb variants are south of 300 in Amazon. Com out newegg.com. Why is it that Indian Amazon still sells these at above 280 i.e 1050ti? Is there a way I could get hands on a card sold at MSRP now?
