In wake of the recent air quality dip across Delhi NCR, Xiaomi has announced a Rs 1,000 cut for the Mi Air Purifier 2. Manu Jain, Vice President, Xiaomi and Managing Director, Xiaomi India, has confirmed a permanent price cut on Twitter. After a Rs 1,000 price cut, Mi Air Purifier 2 is available for Rs 8,999, down from Rs 9,999.

Delhi has been facing heavy smog cover, which first appeared on Tuesday, and it further intensified on Wednesday. Residents across the National Capital Region have been facing itchiness on the skin, dry eyes, burning nose, and soar throat among other symptoms. The severity of the situation has led to the government ordering schools across the capital shut until Sunday.

This purifier can be connected via Wi-Fi and controlled through the Mi Home app, that features on Android and iOS. The controls of this purifier can be handled by family members, as well as remotely via the app, which can also enable timer schedules.
