Keep in mind that Pokemon Go sports some in-app purchases as reported earlier.

These steps will allow you to Pokemon Go in India as well. We've ed the game on our Android phones and it has been working fine in Mumbai and Delhi.

Initially the game was discovered on Australia and New Zealand app stores. Usually, most developers use these markets to test out certain aspects of the game such as micro-transaction prices and certain design elements.

With an event slated for sometime next month, called Pokemon Outbreak we won't be surprised to see a formal announcement around that time if not earlier.
