Realme Narzo 10 series launch postponed as Indian government prohibits non-essential goods delivery

Realme Narzo 10 series launch in India has been postponed due to the lockdown restrictions in place to curb the spread of the Coronavirus. Previously, the Chinese smartphone maker was gearing up to launch the Narzo 10 and Narzo 10A in India on April 21 but the Indian government backtracked its order prohibiting e-commerce companies to deliver non-essential goods like smartphones, TV and laptops to consumers until the lockdown lifts on May 3.

Realme CEO Madhav Sheth took to Twitter to announce that the company won’t be debuting its latest line of smartphones under the Narzo series on April 21 in India. The launch remains suspended until the government eases the restrictions in place, allowing e-commerce companies to function normally.

Just minutes after the official order was issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs on April 19, Xiaomi India had to suspend its decision to re-open its Mi India Store that was previously slated to accept orders starting from April 20.

Currently, consumer electronics products including mobile phones, laptops, TV, appliances and more are not categorized as essential goods by the Indian government and e-commerce companies are only allowed to deliver products listed as essentials by the government.
