While the Bharat 3 was priced at Rs 4,499, the Bharat 4 had arrived with a price tag of Rs 4,999. Micromax was once India’s second-largest handset company, but in the recent years, the company has lost its market share to strong competition from Chinese players like Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo among others.
