New Delhi: Buoyed by strong sales of Moto G&nbsp;and Moto E smartphones, handset maker Motorola has sold 2.6&nbsp;million units in India over the last seven months.&nbsp;
The US-based company, which re-entered the Indian market&nbsp;in February last year, has also launched a new smartphone --&nbsp;Moto X Play in the Indian market for Rs 18,499.<img src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2015/sep/motox.jpg" alt="" />
"We have received a fabulous response from the Indian&nbsp;market. It continues to be an important market for us. We have&nbsp;till date sold 5.6 million units, of which 2.6 million came in&nbsp;the February-August period. A bulk of the sales were Moto G&nbsp;and Moto E," Motorola India General Manager Amit Boni told&nbsp;PTI.
He, however, declined to comment on contribution from the&nbsp;various devices.
Since the re-entry, Motorola has introduced the Moto E&nbsp;(two generations), Moto G (three generations), Moto X and the&nbsp;Moto 360 smartwatch in India exclusively through e-commerce&nbsp;firm Flipkart.

Motorola had stopped sales of its products in India after&nbsp;being acquired by Google in 2012, but came back after its&nbsp;acquisition by Lenovo with the launch of the Moto G in&nbsp;February last year.
Talking about Moto X Play, Boni said the device offers&nbsp;customers the best-in-class cameras, all-day battery,&nbsp;water-repellent design, meaningful software experiences and&nbsp;personalisation options.
The 4G-enabled Moto X Play will be available at Rs 18,499&nbsp;for 16GB version and Rs 19,999 for 32GB. It has 5.5-inch&nbsp;display, 2GB RAM, 1.7 GHz octa core Snapdragon processor, 21MP&nbsp;rear and 5MP front camera and 3,630 mAh battery.
According to research firm IDC, 26.5 million smartphones&nbsp;were shipped to India in the second quarter of 2015, up 44 per&nbsp;cent from 18.4 million units for the same period last year.
Lenovo group (Lenovo and Motorola) had 6 per cent share&nbsp;of the Indian smartphone market in the period.
