One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Philips HP6388 carries an MRP mismatch, meaning its listings show different maximum retail prices, while Vega VHSH31 does not. That does not tell us which listing is wrong, or why, but it does mean the discount percentage on Philips HP6388 is calculated from an MRP that differs between listings.
That ₹998 is the best of 3 listings we track for Vega VHSH31, currently on Flipkart. Note that Vega VHSH31 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.
