"The price difference between 8GB and 16GB was not much and that could have also led to people going for the 16GB one," Bansal said on shoppers preferring the 16GB version.

Besides, traffic to Flipkart was twice of what it sees on other days and 67 percent of it was driven just by Moto G.

"Our page views increased by 100 percent during the launch and Moto G page saw a million page views on February 6.
 
Also, inbound calls to customer support number doubled and we had close to 20,000 queries on Moto G alone during the day," Bansal said.

On launching Moto X, he said presently both the companies are watching the response to Moto G.

"Right now, we are focusing on Moto G and we want to wait and see how it is and then take a call on other opportunities.

I don't know how it will pan out, but we want to wait for a few days and then sit down to decide," Bansal added.

Last week, Motorola launched its first handset, Moto G, in India after a nearly two-year hiatus. After being acquired by Google in May 2012, Motorola did not introduce new products in India. However, the firm continued with its operation unit in India.

In the US, Moto G is priced at around USD 179 (about Rs. 11,200) with 8GB of storage and USD 199 (about Rs. 12,400) for the 16 GB version.
