Notably, this is the first permanent price cut for the Moto G (Gen 3) since its launch in July last year. Motorola India had introduced limited period discounts on the Moto G (Gen 3) but this is first time when the handset has received permanent price cut.

Motorola India has not revealed any possible reasons for slashing price of the Moto G (Gen 3), but the recent launch of the Lenovo Vibe K4 Note can be expected to be one of the reasons. In our first impressions of the Vibe K4 Note, we found the Moto G (Gen 3) was one of the biggest competitors.
