Which one to buy
There is effectively nothing between these two on price: Havells BT5100C and Vgr V290 both land within ₹7 of each other, so the decision comes down to what the products are rather than what they cost. A discount badge showing one as the better deal is describing its own MRP, not your outlay.
Buyer ratings don't separate them. 4.0★ and 4.1★ are close enough to be noise, across 39,440 and 2,833 ratings. Neither product is carrying a reputation problem the other avoids.
One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Vgr V290 carries an MRP mismatch, meaning its listings show different maximum retail prices, while Havells BT5100C 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.
That ₹892 is the best of 3 listings we track for Havells BT5100C, currently on Flipkart. Note that Vgr V290 appears on fewer stores (2), so its price has less competition to hold it down and is the more likely of the two to drift.
