Update: 3-6-2014 Leaksterinc has now clarified that Snapdragon 800 phone and windows phone are separate devices and this makes little more sense
According to trusted twitter handle @LeaksterInc, Micromax will introduce its latest Windows Phone 8.1 based smartphone in July for a price of 23,000 to 25,000 INR. The leakster also claims that this new phone will have the powerful snapdragon 800 chipset along with other high end specifications.
Other specifications include 5 inch Full HD display, 13 Mega pixel rear camera,2 GB RAM, 5 MP front camera, 2600 mAh battery and 16 GB internal storage with MicroSD support up to 64 GB.

The specifications are quite impressive and this is the first time that we are hearing Snapdragon 800 powered Micromax device, but it’s about time. However, it’s still unusual that Micromax will offer Snapdragon 800 on Windows Phone first rather than Android.
Microsoft displayed Windows Phone 8.1 running prototype of Micromax device at the launch event of Windows Phone 8.1 and it was expected that Micromax will soon launch an impressive Windows Phone 8.1 device soon. The leak however, if true, will be pleasantly surprising.
Microsoft has made Windows Phone 8.1 free for devices with less than 9 inches of display real estate. This move is meant to allure manufacturers to launch more Windows Phone 8.1 devices as it won’t cost them a dime. We expect many other domestic manufactures to follow suit.
