[Update 1] Why we should look out for Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie - Micromax A116

1) It will be optimised to work perfectly on low-end hardware – even devices with 512MB of RAM so canvas HD will benefit even more.
2) It will use 3.8 Linux kernel.
3) Software Improvements.
4) Complete UI overhaul which would look like our current Google Play store (both desktop and app).
5) etc.
Experimental 3.8 Kernel:- https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common/+/experimental/android-3.8
Kernel is the centre of attraction, why? because
The 3.8 kernel is supposed to handle memory more efficiently and/or use less. That means there is a good chance that devices that currently have Android 4.1 may even run better on Android 5.0, because of having more available memory. Maybe 1GB of RAM will last longer than anyone thought! and Moto X supports the statement as it's a low end device compared to the competition in the market i.e Galaxy S4, HTC One & Xperia Z. That would help Android fragmentation a lot if 1GB turns out to be plenty of RAM for Android 5.0.
Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie is rumoured to release this october.
Update 1:-
Android 4.3 was released not so long ago for the Nexus 4 and new Nexus 7 2 with build number JWR66V and JSS15J respective, and if you notice these numbers do not have a K in it at all.
Android 4.3 was released a about a month ago and tests have been ongoing with Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie, has this new operating system just been confirmed? The reason is because new reports showing up on the Chromium Project reveals the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 2 running KLP 5.0 OS.
The site also shows that the Samsung Galaxy S4 number is at JDQ39.I9500UBUAMDK, the Galaxy S3 with JRO03C, and the Note 2 with JZO54K, the first letter for these three devices say J, which means Jelly Bean. So to see the Nexus 7 with KRS36B and the Nexus 4 with KRS36B, this means the K is for key Lime Pie.

Even if they don't, Canvas 4 will get it for sure and it would not be hard to port to Canvas HD due to same hardware

The Nexus 5 by LG is going to arrive in October and you know every next gen Nexus gets a new Android OS which is the Google way(i.e. Key Lime Pie).
I think they did not unveil KLP at Google I/O because they wanted to save it for the Nexus event. These are just guesses but a lot of trusted sources are confirming that it will be unveiled in October at Nexus launch event.

They will release it for Canvas 4 for sure so it won't be a problem to port it to Canvas HD as both have same specs
But I think MMX will release it for HD if they are releasing it for Canvas 4.
