It is the opposite. iPhone costs at least 20% more in India.

Rs. 24,490. About $380 USD.

Prices as of September 2017, currency conversion via Google on today's date and time.

where do u see a new iphone for that price in India ? For Iphone 7, I am seeing at least $1000 USD when converted from INR. Officially on Apple website.

It was the 6s which I mistakenly read as the 7s.

My bad.

There is no iPhone 7s.

True, but that didn't stop me as misreading it as the 7s. I'd already read the 6 as a 7. The reading comprehension train had already left the station.

Durable goods (especially from the same manufacturer) cost about the same across the world.
