That’s the answer, and the two-price part matters — see the next section. Everything after that is what those figures do and don’t include, and what you’ll spend on top.
There are two EMOs, and they aren’t the same price
This trips up nearly every buyer, because most listings don’t distinguish them.
| Version | Price | Stock (2026-08-20) |
|---|---|---|
| EMO: The Coolest AI Desktop Pet Robot | ₹49,900 | On backorder |
| EMO Go Home | ₹76,799 | In stock |
The ₹26,899 gap between them is the single most useful thing on this page, and nobody else explains it.
Why nobody else will just tell you the price
Search “EMO robot price in India” and you get three kinds of result: a USD figure with no landed cost, a marketplace listing at a suspiciously low number, or a form that wants your phone number before it’ll say anything.
The USD figure is misleading because it ignores customs and GST. The cheap listing is usually not an EMO. And the quote form is a lead-capture tactic.
So: ₹76,799, at the top of the page, in the meta description, and here in the body.
What’s in the box — and what isn’t
Typically included:
- The EMO unit
- The charging skate / home base
- Power adapter and cable
- Documentation
Not included, and worth budgeting for:
- Any accessory beyond the base skate
- Replacement parts
The related robots people buy instead
This is where the honesty earns its keep. EMO is the most expensive robot in this category by a wide margin, and for a lot of buyers it isn’t the right one.
| Robot | Price in India | In stock |
|---|---|---|
| Eilik AI Robot | ₹18,762 | Yes |
| Metacat Companion Robot | ₹22,000 | Yes |
| Loona Deskmate | ₹35,000 | Yes |
| EMO (standard) | ₹49,900 | On backorder |
| Loona Petbot Premium | ₹61,599 | Yes |
| EMO Go Home | ₹76,799 | Yes |
Eilik is about a third of standard EMO’s price, and under a quarter of Go Home’s. If what you want is an expressive desktop companion and you don’t specifically need EMO’s walking and face recognition, Eilik at ₹18,762 does most of the emotional job for ₹31,000 less than the cheaper EMO.
We’d rather tell you that than sell you the expensive one and have it sit in a drawer.
“Is there an EMO under ₹1,000?”
No.
This query gets a genuine volume of searches every month, so it deserves a real answer rather than a silent skip. There is no version of EMO at ₹1,000, ₹3,000 or ₹5,000. What you’re seeing at those prices is one of three things:
- A generic toy robot using EMO’s photos in the listing.
- A phone app or a plastic figurine that isn’t a robot at all.
- A scam listing that will take payment and ship nothing.
The genuine EMO is ₹76,799. If a listing is dramatically below that, the question isn’t whether it’s a good deal — it’s what you’re actually being sold.
The costs after the purchase
For comparison, the Eilik accessory line is fully stocked and gives a sense of what add-on spend looks like in this category: the Eilik AI Station ₹17,110, the Panxer joystick-controlled vehicle ₹16,520, and a range of outfit sets — cape and hoodie, cowboy hat, animal backpack, crochet collar, mini food toy — at ₹3,540 each.
That’s worth noting honestly: Eilik’s ecosystem of accessories is deeper than EMO’s, and for a gift purchase that ongoing “something else to buy” matters.
Two ongoing costs to be aware of:
Electricity — negligible. It’s a small robot on a charging base.
What ₹76,799 includes at XBOOM
The price difference between a grey-market EMO and one bought locally isn’t margin — it’s what happens after the box is open.
- GST invoice, which matters if you’re expensing it or claiming input credit.
- India warranty, honoured locally rather than by shipping the unit abroad.
- No customs surprise — the price you see is the landed price. Import it yourself and you’ll meet duty, GST and a broker fee on arrival.
- Someone to call in Bengaluru when the charging base stops working.
