That's just silly. I bet they're just going to try to sell off their inventory, not restart the production of it. The smart business move is to make iPhone 5C much cheaper. They're already should be at the point where production costs have dropped further than last year.
It'll cost them more in the long run by maintaining iPhone 4 with bad reviews from Indian customers as iOS 7 and future releases are going to slow it down further.

What is SiLly is You, I Think.
i-Phone 4 Has been THE BEST SMARTPHONE EVER on SmartPhone History and It's STILL RELEVANT, though It Hasn't Got Some Functions that were Incrementally Added Later Such As siri etc.
Relaunch of i-Phone 4 Has 2 Significant Meanings.
One is, Of Course, to Lower Price Point of Lower End Model.
And The Other is Out of IT Literacy Point of View.
Not All The People who Buy The Latest Models Necessarilly Need Entire FULL Functions on i-Phone, Particularly Incremented after i-Phone 4.
Even in Developed Countries Quite A Few People are At A Loss in front of So Many, in Other Word, TOO MANY Functions on Their Smart Phone.
They Definitely Want to Experience " Seamless, Flawless & Effortless " InterNet Browsing Different from Feature Phone on Their SmartPhone, but Other Than THAT What They Persue out of Their SmartPhone Are More or Less LIMITED.
As I Told You, i-Phone 4 Has Been THE BEST SMARTPHONE EVER, Whether You Admit or NOT, and IT IS PERFECT IN ITS WAY.
So as A Simplified Smartphone Now for Ordinally People that are NOT GEEKS nor NEED FULL FUNCTIONED LATEST VERSION nor Want Expensive ONE, i-Phone 4 Can't Be Beaten by Any Other Manufacturers' Any Other Model.
To Lower Price Point of i-Phone 5c is Another Option as You Say, but Have You Ever Used i-Phone 4 ?
i-Phone 4 Made of Gorrilla EnStrengthened Glass Feels VERY VERY POSH Different From i-Phone 5c Made of Plastic.
Masayoshi Son, CEO of SoftBank, Referred it as " Like Jewel " when it was Launched.
ALL IN ALL, Apple's Move ReIntroduction of i-Phone 4 is WISE STRATEGY, I Suppose.
If It Goes WELL in India, Indonesia and Brasil, They May As Well Sell i-Phone 4 Again EVEN in Developed Countries Such as U.S. Or Japan.
Because It Turned Out that Transitional Speed from Feature Phone to SmartPhone Last Year Sluggished for The First Time.
The Biggest REASON for THAT is People, Especially Elderly People Don't Want to Use TOO MUCH COMPLICATED FULL FUNCTIONED LATEST VERSION of SMARTPHONES !
So There's REALLY NEED & ROOM for Simplified SmartPhones as A Substitute of Feature Phone.
