  Well, my guess No, It wont launch these tablets in India.
  The reason :
  Price.
  The US prices start from $449 (28,100 INR) for the RT version base model and prices of Surface Pro 2 with at $899 (56,263 INR) and go up to $1,799 (112,589 INR). Now that is quite expensive for a tablet.
  While the RT version (Surface 2) has limited functionality The Surface Pro 2 how ever gives you the full Windows 8.1 experience but here is the catch, People can get laptops at around Rs. 40000 - Rs 45000 thousand that are more powerful than the Surface. Plus the Surface misses out on a dedicated graphics card that most youngsters require to play high end game. Finally small size display. In a country where we say "Bada Hai Toh Behetar Hai" (The Bigger The Better) a small 10 inch screen will not be preferred.

  If I were to buy a tablet today and had bucks to spend, I'd prefer Surface Pro 2 over any other similar tablets, including iPad. I think Surface Pro 2 eliminates the drawbacks of the tablets and adds the portability factor to laptops. I'm not sure of the usability though. Would definitely love to try it out though.
