Meta has announced that its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses will go on sale in India starting 19 May, with prices starting at ₹29,990 (approximately $353). The glasses are currently available for pre-order via Ray-Ban’s official website and will be available in Ray-Ban retail stores across the country at launch.

The smart glasses support Meta AI, allowing users to ask questions about their surroundings, send messages, make phone calls, and even translate languages in real time. The AI assistant can process both visual and audio input and operate even while the user is offline.

At present, live translation features are available for English, French, Italian, and Spanish, though Meta has not yet added support for Indian languages. The glasses also integrate with music apps such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Shazam for on-the-go audio playback.

Meta says it has sold around 2 million pairs globally since the smart glasses first launched in 2023. The debut in India marks a major expansion into a key global market, though support for regional language features remains a limitation for now.
