The computer was manufactured under a contract between the Indian Government and the UK-based company DataWind to enable all Indian students to have access to this modern means.
The Askash computer is scheduled to go on sale in November at a price of 2,999 rupees (about $60). At this price, customers will not be exempted from taxes or subsidies. However, the Indian government said it would ask DataWind to reduce the price to 2,250 rupees (about $39) for students with a 12-month warranty.
