India’s Republic Day sales season is under way, and Croma’s ongoing Republic Day Sale (January 16–26) has drawn attention with deep discounts across premium gadgets. A standout offer lets customers acquire the Apple iPhone 17 at an effective price of ₹47,990 after exchange bonuses and bank offers, making a flagship upgrade more attainable for many buyers.
How the iPhone 17 offer works
The iPhone 17 launched in India at a premium price, but Croma’s sale reduces the net cost through a combination of high exchange values, additional exchange bonuses and select bank card instant cashback. Exchange values vary by the traded device’s brand, model and physical condition; when combined with the retailer’s extra bonus and bank benefits, the final payable amount can drop to around ₹47,990.
Why this deal is significant for Indian buyers
Apple’s smartphones are traditionally positioned as premium products in India, often remaining expensive months after release. This promotional pricing broadens access to the iPhone 17, particularly for users holding older iPhones or premium Android devices who can leverage the exchange programme to lower their outlay substantially.
For consumers who had deferred upgrades because of cost, the sale presents a timely opportunity to move to Apple’s latest model without paying the usual price premium.
What the iPhone 17 offers
The iPhone 17 brings incremental but meaningful improvements over its predecessors: a high-refresh-rate display, Apple’s latest A-series chipset, enhanced low-light camera performance and improved battery efficiency. Those upgrades, combined with Apple’s multi-year software support and ecosystem integration, make the device attractive for users seeking longevity and consistent performance.
Other notable offers in the sale
Beyond the iPhone 17, Croma’s Republic Day Sale includes discounts across premium Android smartphones, laptops, large-screen televisions and home appliances. Many of these products are eligible for similar exchange bonuses and bank cashbacks, and there are targeted deals for students and professionals on laptops and accessories.
Buying considerations
Shoppers should verify exchange eligibility and the exact computation of discounts before committing, as the trade-in value depends heavily on device condition and model. Stock for high-demand items like the iPhone 17 may be limited, and the most attractive effective prices typically require all applicable offers—exchange bonus, device exchange and bank cashback—to be combined.
Customers intending to capitalise on the sale are advised to act early, review terms carefully and confirm availability to secure the best possible deal before the offer ends on January 26.
