Redmi Note 15, Redmi 15 prices hiked again in India

The Redmi Note 15 launched in India back in January 2026 at Rs 22,999 for the base 8GB + 128GB variant. It’s now sitting at Rs 26,999 for that same configuration, which is a Rs 4,000 jump from launch. The 8GB + 256GB model has moved from Rs 24,999 to Rs 29,999 over the same period.

The Redmi 15, which arrived in August 2025 starting at Rs 14,999, has crossed over into another segment, with the same 6GB starting variant now dearer by Rs 5,500.

While the company hasn’t confirmed the reason behind the price hikes, it can safely be assumed it’s a byproduct of the memory components shortage across the globe, which is hitting budget and cheaper phones the hardest.

At Rs 26,999, the Redmi Note 15 is now rubbing shoulders with phones like the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion. The Redmi 15’s new entry price of Rs 20,499 also puts it up against the Nothing Phone 3a Lite and the recently launched OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite. Redmi’s value proposition has always been about punching above its weight on specs, but that argument is harder to make with the price tag creeping up every few weeks.

If you were already considering either phone, it’s worth acting sooner rather than waiting. Given two price hikes in quick succession, another one down the line isn’t out of the question.
