Earlier in March this year, Xiaomi India was launched in India in November last year, and went on sale in December. Xiaomi says that it has managed to sell 10 million units of the Redmi 5A in just nine months since launch. The company claims that this achievement makes Redmi 5A the fastest selling smartphone in India to hit the milestone in such a short span since its launch.

Xiaomi Redmi 5A is priced in India at Rs. 5,999 for the 2GB RAM variant and Rs. 6,999 for the one with 3GB of RAM. It comes in varied colour options including Blue, Dark Grey, Gold, and Rose Gold, and is available on Flipkart and Mi.com. The smartphone is still being sold in flash sales with the next sale slated for October 11. To recall, it was launched at an introductory price of Rs. 4,999 for the 2GB RAM variant, which no doubt helped propel sales. That discount ended in March this year.

"These remarkable milestones are the result of the immense love and iration from our millions of Mi Fans and customers. Redmi 5A is one of our blockbuster smartphone products due to the amazing features it offers coupled with great quality and truly honest pricing, which makes it an undebatable choice in its category and with the recently launched Redmi 6A we have made it even better. Xiaomi as a brand will continue to bring innovative products of great quality with best specs and ensure that it is accessible to all consumers across India," Raghu Reddy, Head of Categories and Online Sales, said in a statement.
