Which one to buy
These are not really competing at the same price: Havells BG3300 costs ₹300 more than Vgr V290, 33% above it. The question is less which is better value and more whether Havells BG3300 does something you actually need.
The ratings point the same way as the price: Vgr V290 is both cheaper and better rated, at 4.1★ from 2,833 ratings against 3.1★. When the cheaper product is also the better-reviewed one there is not much left to weigh up.
One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Vgr V290 carries an MRP mismatch, meaning its listings show different maximum retail prices, while Havells BG3300 does not. That does not tell us which listing is wrong, or why, but it does mean the discount percentage on Vgr V290 is calculated from an MRP that differs between listings.
The ₹899 figure is on Amazon, and is the lowest we observed across every listing we track for it. Prices on both products move often enough that it is worth opening each listing before deciding.
