One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Havells HD3161 carries an MRP mismatch, meaning its listings show different maximum retail prices, while Vega VHDH32 does not. That does not tell us which listing is wrong, or why, but it does mean the discount percentage on Havells HD3161 is calculated from an MRP that differs between listings.
The ₹876 figure is on Flipkart, 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.
