Like I suggested on this post
Good 17" laptops cost 100k+ in India and around 90k (clevo/sager from xotic PC). That model you have in mind is ~2 year old and discontinued. Nobody buys laptop with 750M for 70k when you have laptops with 860M for 75k (or 960M for ~80k, clevo/sager laptops)

Don't fall for 5th gen i7 gimmick, most are just ULV dual cores.

Dell build quality is crap for the price (I have a Inspiron N5110)

Besides, if the laptop would be used in home only, get a desktop with GTX 970 (or GTX 960 to save money)

Any other suggestion other than Asus ?

That's the best one in your budget. Unless you want to increase budget and get Lenovo Y50.

If you want to import after all,
XOTIC PC | Sager NP7155 (Clevo N155SD) - 15.6" Gaming Laptop

We hav'nt imported anything till now. What are the import charges if we import the above laptop and how ?

And if we can import, why not a 17" laptop ? Can't we get 17" laptop outside India in the budget upto 70K ?

Import Duty+ Customs + Shipping charges vary from 15-30% of the laptop's base price. I would recommend getting it here unboxed through an acquaintance in USA rather than importing it to save all that extra cost.
