The official Xiaomi store in India can be found at Mi.com/in.

However, this is not Xiaomi's first tryst with fake sites or products. Fake sites posing as Xiaomi official stores have been reported in the past. Also, in December last year, Xiaomi took Delhi Police's help to crack down on fake Xiaomi products being sold in the market. A raid conducted at Delhi's Gaffar Market brought out more than 2,000 fake Xiaomi products from four shops.
