Asus’ lack of a manufacturing or assembly line in India seems to have hurt them during these tough times. The Taiwanese Smartphone manufacturer’s ROG Phone 2 has been out of stock since February. With the global supply chain and shipments hit badly by Wuhan Virus outbreak, Asus shipments were delayed. Finally, Asus has managed to restock the ROG Phone 2 for sale. However, if you plan to buy the ROG Phone 2 you will have to pay more as Asus decided to pass on April GST tax hike to customers.

The Asus ROG Phone 2 was first launched in India at Rs. 37,999 back in September last year. With really impressive specs, Asus had a tough time meeting demand. With GST tax hike in April, the ROG phone 2 price has been hiked by Rs 2,000 in India.
