I think its the new Lancer and not the EVO X that is coming here. The current Lancer will be phased out in 2010 when it won't be able to meet BS-4 norms. Cedia prices will be reduced and the new Lancer will be priced in the Honda Civic territory. The EVO X will come as a direct import and will cost around 40 lakh. The Lacer will get a good choice of powerful and frugal petrol and diesel engines, though I forgot their specifications.
Mitsubishi Launches Lancer Evo X at Rs.49.95 Lakhs!

100 RON. You gotta be kidding me.
Even the Lamborghini is somewhere like 95/97 RON. Nowhere in the world do you get 100 RON.
I dont think there would be any detuning.
Detuning is done on normal cars. Not these kinda cars. The A4 etc are also not detuned for Indian conditions.
Bad source. The last time i had a talk with one of the guys at Mitsubishi India ( Cannot reveal more due to safety reasons) , he said it would come only by late 2011-2012 and that too imported on order.

The Outlander in US has the same MIVEC engine & fuel requirement that the Indian version has.They haven't detuned the engine for Indian conditions.
Where as there are no EVO X's under production which run on 87 or 91 octane fuels.
The Outlader's MIVEC & EVO's MIVEC are different engine's.The only thing common between them is the Mitsubishi's tech " MIVEC ".
Moreover even detuning the EVO's MIVEC engine to meet the Indian fuel standards ain't a easy job.It cant be done just by playing around with the ECU.The compression ratio needs to be changed & even if they change the ratio they will need to work on the engines TURBO CHARGER again & if they work on that too (which i don't think they will just for us Indians) we will get a highly detuned EVO X. People might prefer buying a skoda Octavia 1.8TP & soup it up & still save loads of money in your pocket.![[:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif "Smile [:)]")

Launch on 1st May 2010?
Though the Delhi'tes didn't get a glimpse of Evolution X at recent 10th Auto Expo but the news of it’s launch has yet again started flowing in air and this time the launch date has been confirmed as well, which is said to be 1st May 2010 and due to import taxes, It’ll cost anywhere about Rs. 35 Lakhs. Keep your fingers crossed!

Hope they actually launch it this time,but then i still doubt how would it run on 89,91 & 97 octane fuels when the minimum requirement of the engine is 100 octane fuel.
They could de-tune it but then de-tuning it to accept 91 octane is pretty doubtful as its a hug jump downwards. Even 97 octane is only found in selected cities here in India.

this is the most awaited launch.
Forget EVO, just launch the new shape Lancer here. It almost looks same.
Question is how much they are going to price it.

I agree with you LandRover. Just get that car here! We want a new Lancer, we have already waited too long! A launch is definitely on the cards, and this car single-handedly could overturn Mitsubishi's fortune in India.
BTW, if they bring the standard Lancer here, expect it to be priced around the Honda Civic-Skoda Laura ballpark i.e around Rs.14-15 lakhs. And if they bring the EVO X, price will shoot up to Rs.35-40 lakh.
