Actually, its a question of skimming the market. They know that people will pay that much for the phone. I think later they will lower the price, 4 - 6 months down the line.
Nothing stops you from buying the iphone from Hira Panna at 17K, just you will have to remember to disable the auto update. My clients bought about 20 of them till now in fact, with direct delivery from USA by courier, duly cracked to be allowed to be used on all networks.
If it is available for 17K in the grey market, it only shows how the companies are milking the public at 36K.
