The Recode report said one sticking point, sources say, is whether Amazon will sell the cheaper service for $4 or $5 a month. Amazon was not immediately available to comment.

However, Apple had recently launched its music service in India priced at nearly $2. Spotify has also been scanning the India market and may start its services soon.
