Moto X Style’s specifications are outstanding and pure stock android is an extra advantage but I guess the success of this device will depend on the price tag. Expected price of Moto X style in India is 24,000 INR for 16GB variant, 30,000 INR for 32GB and around 35,000 INR for the 64GB variant.
Prices really matter in India, so it will be a bit difficult for Motorola to sell the massive number of devices in India. Moto X Style has many premium specifications but it still missing one very important-trending feature which is “Fingerprint Sensor” and there are also few other missing features like wireless charging, infrared and OIS(Optical Image Stabilization).
Devices like OnePlus 2 with better specs in the lower price range is already in market and Nexus 5X  is also coming soon so competition will be very tough for Moto X Style.
