Smartphone maker Xiaomi has forayed in the nascent air-purifier segment in India. The company’s Mi Air Purifier 2 is the first smart home product from its Mi Ecosystem devices range that is being launched in the country.

Priced is at ₹9,999, the air purifier will be available on Mi.com from September 26 and later will be made available on Flipkart from October 2.

Hugo Barra, Vice-President, Xiaomi, said: “Air pollution is becoming an alarming public health concern in India. We believe that we are able to play a role in increasing awareness about air pollution by including AQI (Air Quality Index) data into our MIUI Weather app, and by introducing Mi Air Purifier 2 to India.”
