One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Havells HS4501 carries an MRP mismatch, meaning its listings show different maximum retail prices, while Vega VHCR01 does not. That does not tell us which listing is wrong, or why, but it does mean the discount percentage on Havells HS4501 is calculated from an MRP that differs between listings.
That ₹1,454 is the best of 3 listings we track for Vega VHCR01, currently on Amazon. Note that Havells HS4501 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.
