I just found a deal on web according to which Blackberry Playbook is available for Rs. 14,000 and on some places for Rs.13,000. So here it looks that blackberry has slashed the priced of its tablet to great extent. On official website of Blackberry the 16GB version comes for $199, 32GB for $249 and 64GB for $299.So that looks a too lower price. I hope you can get the right figure in your local currency.
