The Mi 10 series will be announced soon outside China. The scheduled date for the global launch event, which will be online, is March 27 but there is a possibility India will be getting it earlier.
CEO of Xiaomi India, Manu Kumar Jain posted on Twitter a short while ago that the 108MP flagship phone(s) is here. The official Xiaomi India account has also added the hashtag #108MPIsHere to its Twitter name. While fans are excited about the launch, they should also expect to pay more compared to those in China.
Mi fans, we've worked very hard to bring this #108MP flagship experience to India.
However, I want to add that we may have a different pricing model for this flagship due to (a) direct import (b) higher GST (c) depreciating ₹. Will keep everyone posted.#Xiaomi ❤️ #108MPIsHere https://t.co/HkMRftpyuz

Mi 10 will cost more in India
Manu Jumar Jain said in one of his tweets that there will be a different pricing model for the phone due to it being a direct import (not made in India); the increase in goods and services tax; and the depreciating Indian Rupee.
The Mi 10 has a starting price of ¥3999 (~$569/INR 42,326) in China while the Mi 10 Pro has a starting price of ¥4999 (~$712/INR 52,910). We expect the Mi 10 may cross the $600 (~INR 44616) mark in India while the Mi 10 Pro will cross the $750 (~INR 55,770) mark or might even be close to $800 (~INR 59,488).
Mi 10 will be sold by Amazon India
It appears the phone will be sold on Amazon India based on the tweet below. Nevertheless, the flagship should also be available on Mi.com too.
