Xiaomi on Friday revised the prices of select Mi accessories as a result of the GST (Good and Services Tax) implementation in India. With the new development, the Mi Power Bank, Mi Business Backpack, Mi Charger, 2-in-1 USB fan, and various smartphone cases are now available with revised prices. The new announcement emerges days after the Chinese company announced the establishment of its third manufacturing facility in the country that has been designed to produce power banks.

"GST council announced a GST rate cut and it's time we pass on the benefits to our beloved Mi Fans. Now you can get your favourite accessory at the price you have been dreaming of," Xiaomi wrote in a post on its Mi Community forums.

The price drop is also applicable to Mi Business Backpack that arrived in the country at Rs. 1,499. It is now available for Rs. 1,299.

The Mi Charger that comes with 5V/ 2A output is available for Rs. 349 (originally available for Rs. 399), whereas the Mi Car Charger is priced at Rs. 699 (launched at Rs. 799) and the USB Cable is available with a price tag of Rs. 179 (previously priced at Rs. 199). Further, the 2-in-1 USB cable that has a USB Type-C and Micro-USB port on one end and a USB Type A port on the other end is available for Rs. 249 (originally priced at Rs. 299. The Mi USB fan, which was launched back in October 2015 for Rs. 249, is now available for Rs. 229.

For instance, you can pick a Redmi 4 Hard Case for Rs. 349 (originally available for Rs. 449), while a Redmi Y1 Perforated Case is available for Rs. 349 (previously launched at Rs. 399). The Smart View Flip Case and Software Case models of the Redmi Note 4 and Mi Max 2 have also received the new prices in the country.
