One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Vega VHSS02 carries an MRP mismatch, meaning its listings show different maximum retail prices, while Havells HS4222 does not. That does not tell us which listing is wrong, or why, but it does mean the discount percentage on Vega VHSS02 is calculated from an MRP that differs between listings.
The ₹1,599 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.
