VENRBD cargos cost Rs. 772 on Myntra and Rs. 850 on AJIO — and it is the Rs. 850 pair that shows the bigger discount. 66% against 61%, because the two platforms state different reference prices for the same label. Across 200 listings read on 12 November, the medians sit Rs. 46 apart and only one real gap remains: ratings.
📅 Update log:
12 November 2026: first published. All 66 Myntra listings read from the site's own window.__myx JSON on its men-cargos and women-cargos pages, and all 134 AJIO listings from AJIO's own search response, both on this date, logged out, from India, with nothing bought. Medians, counts, badge ranges and MRP multiples are arithmetic on each platform's published figures and are shown beside them. AJIO returns no rating or review count for any of its 134 listings, so no AJIO rating appears anywhere on this page. No garment is matched across the two platforms; the two shared brands are compared as labels, not as identical products.
VENRBD sells cargo trousers on both Myntra and AJIO. On AJIO they cost Rs. 78 more and carry a discount badge five points deeper. Rs. 772 against a stated Rs. 1,999 on Myntra, 61%; Rs. 850 against a stated Rs. 2,499 on AJIO, 66%.
That is the whole problem with cross-platform badges in two lines. This page reads 66 Myntra listings and 134 AJIO listings on 12 November 2026 — shelves whose median prices sit within Rs. 46 of each other, and which differ enormously in one respect: Myntra publishes a rating on 47 of its 66. AJIO publishes one on none of its 134.
Only two brands appear on both shelves and no model numbers match, so no like-for-like garment comparison is possible here and none is claimed. What the two shared labels — VENRBD and COSMIC TRIO — allow is a comparison of how each platform prices the same house, which is a different and narrower question. Nothing was ordered, worn or washed.
The two shelves side by side
| Measure | Myntra | AJIO |
|---|
| Listings read | 66 | 134 |
| Median price | Rs. 696 | Rs. 650 |
| Price range | Rs. 475 – Rs. 1,364 | Rs. 300 – Rs. 1,800 |
| Median stated MRP | Rs. 2,149 | Rs. 2,399 |
| Median badge | 70% | 70% |
| Under Rs. 700 | 33 of 66 (50%) | 73 of 134 (54%) |
| Stated MRP at 4x or more | 17 of 66 (26%) | 31 of 134 (23%) |
| Largest MRP multiple | 6.68x | 10.00x |
| Listings with a rating | 47 of 66 | 0 of 134 |
On price they are near-twins. Median Rs. 696 against Rs. 650, identical 70% median badges, and half of each shelf under Rs. 700. AJIO is wider at both ends — it goes down to Rs. 300 and up to Rs. 1,800, where Myntra runs Rs. 475 to Rs. 1,364.
On reference-price stretching they are also close, which is worth saying plainly because it is the opposite of what we expected. 26% of Myntra's listings state an MRP at four times the price or more, against 23% of AJIO's. AJIO's extreme is more extreme — 10.00x against 6.68x — but the bulk of both shelves behaves the same way.
The gap that actually matters is the last row. AJIO returns no star average and no review count for a single one of its 134 listings. That is AJIO's own published data, not a gap in this read.
The same brand, Rs. 78 apart, and the dearer one looks cheaper
| Listing | You pay | Stated MRP | Badge | Rating |
|---|
| Myntra — VENRBD Men Relaxed Easy Wash Cargos | Rs. 772 | Rs. 1,999 | 61% | Unrated |
| Myntra — VENRBD Men Relaxed Easy Wash Cargos | Rs. 772 | Rs. 1,999 | 61% | Unrated |
| Myntra — VENRBD Men Machine Wash Relaxed Cargos | Rs. 787 | Rs. 1,999 | 61% | Unrated |
| AJIO — VENRBD Men Relaxed Fit Cargo Pants | Rs. 850 | Rs. 2,499 | 66% | No rating published |
| AJIO — VENRBD Men Straight Fit Flat-Front Cargo | Rs. 850 | Rs. 2,499 | 66% | No rating published |
VENRBD's cargos sell for Rs. 772 to Rs. 787 on Myntra and Rs. 850 on AJIO. The AJIO listings are the more expensive ones by every rupee measure — and they carry the deeper badge, because AJIO's listings state Rs. 2,499 where Myntra's state Rs. 1,999.
A shopper comparing the two tiles would see 66% on AJIO and 61% on Myntra and reasonably conclude AJIO was the better buy. On price alone it is the worse one, by about 10%.
Neither platform has done anything improper. Setting a reference price above a selling price is ordinary, lawful retail practice, and the two platforms are entitled to state different ones. It does mean a badge cannot be compared across two websites. These are also not confirmed to be the identical trouser — the fit descriptions differ — so read this as a comparison of one label's pricing, not of one garment.
One label, one stated MRP, Rs. 1,019 of daylight
| Listing | You pay | Stated MRP | Badge | Rating |
|---|
| Myntra — COSMIC TRIO Women Relaxed Straight Leg Loose Fit | Rs. 1,319 | Rs. 2,999 | 56% | 4.0 / 15 |
| AJIO — COSMIC TRIO Women Loose Cargo Pants | Rs. 300 | Rs. 2,999 | 90% | No rating published |
COSMIC TRIO's women's loose cargo pants state the same reference price on both platforms — Rs. 2,999 — and sell at Rs. 1,319 on Myntra and Rs. 300 on AJIO. That is the same label, the same stated MRP, and 4.4 times the money.
These are described differently and are probably not the identical garment — Myntra's is a "Relaxed Straight Leg Loose Fit" and AJIO's simply a "Loose Cargo Pants". This read did not order either, so it cannot claim they are the same trouser.
What it does show is that a shared stated MRP carries no information about price. Rs. 2,999 is the number both platforms print; one of them then charges Rs. 300 and the other Rs. 1,319.
Myntra: twelve FABRIPPLE listings, one badge, three review pools
| Group | Price | Stated MRP | Badge | Shared rating |
|---|
| 6 listings (Classic / Cotton / Mid-Rise Loose Fit) | Rs. 592 – Rs. 599 | Rs. 1,999 | 70% | 4.1 / 69,689 |
| 4 listings (Relaxed Fit / Button Trousers) | Rs. 604 | Rs. 1,999 | 70% | 4.0 / 8,697 |
| 2 listings (Super Cargos) | Rs. 604 – Rs. 609 | Rs. 1,999 | 70% | 4.1 / 2,586 |
FABRIPPLE has twelve listings on Myntra's cargo shelf. All twelve state Rs. 1,999 and all twelve are badged exactly 70%, with prices packed into an Rs. 17 band from Rs. 592 to Rs. 609.
But their reviews come from three different pools. Six listings show 4.1 stars from 69,689 ratings, four show 4.0 from 8,697, and two show 4.1 from 2,586. Identical counts across several listings mean those reviews are reported together across variants — a normal marketplace arrangement, and not a suggestion that any review is fake.
The practical effect is that Myntra's ratings advantage over AJIO is real but smaller than 47-of-66 suggests. HIGHLANDER does the same thing, with three listings sharing one 73,510-rating pool. A count still beats no count — but check whether the number in front of you is the variant's own.
AJIO: five POSHAX listings against a single stated Rs. 4,999
| Listing | You pay | Stated MRP | Badge |
|---|
| POSHAX Men Relaxed Fit Cargo Pants with Insert Pockets | Rs. 550 | Rs. 4,999 | 89% |
| POSHAX Men Relaxed Fit Cargo Pants with Insert Pockets | Rs. 600 | Rs. 4,999 | 88% |
| POSHAX Men Relaxed Fit Flat-Front Cargo Pants | Rs. 600 | Rs. 4,999 | 88% |
| POSHAX Men Relaxed Fit Cargo Pants with Insert Pockets | Rs. 650 | Rs. 4,999 | 87% |
| POSHAX Men Relaxed Fit Cargo Pants with Insert Pockets | Rs. 700 | Rs. 4,999 | 86% |
POSHAX states Rs. 4,999 on all five of its listings, which sell between Rs. 550 and Rs. 700 — so the badges land at 86% to 89%, among the deepest on either shelf.
Rs. 4,999 for a cargo trouser is a reference price well above what the dearest actual trouser on either shelf costs (a GAP cargo at Rs. 1,800 on AJIO). Four of the five POSHAX listings are priced within Rs. 100 of each other, so the badge spread across them is 3 points of arithmetic and nothing more.
The cheap end of each shelf
| Platform | Listing | You pay | Stated MRP | Badge |
|---|
| AJIO | COSMIC TRIO Women Loose Cargo Pants | Rs. 300 | Rs. 2,999 | 90% |
| AJIO | Hivora Women Relaxed Fit Cargo Pants | Rs. 315 | Rs. 2,299 | 86% |
| AJIO | Sqew Women Baggy Fit Cargo Pants | Rs. 320 | Rs. 1,999 | 84% |
| AJIO | TROMKO Men Mid-Rise Relaxed Fit Cargo Pants | Rs. 320 | Rs. 1,599 | 80% |
| Myntra | Tokyo Talkies Women Black Flared High-Rise Cargos | Rs. 475 | Rs. 2,799 | 83% |
| Myntra | HIGHLANDER Men Cotton Cargo Trousers | Rs. 524 | Rs. 2,099 | 75% |
AJIO owns the bottom of this category. Twenty-five of its 134 listings sell under Rs. 500, against exactly one of Myntra's 66. If your budget is Rs. 300–450, AJIO is effectively the only shelf.
Above about Rs. 500 the two converge, and that is where Myntra's rating counts start to be worth something — HIGHLANDER's Rs. 524 cargos carry a 73,510-rating pool, and nothing at any price on AJIO carries a published rating at all.
What this read cannot tell you
Nothing here was ordered, worn or washed. A listing tile carries a name, a price, a reference price and a badge. It does not carry cotton content, GSM, weave density, stitching quality, pocket construction or how a trouser fits — and this page makes no claim about any of them.
No garment is matched across the two platforms. Only two brands appear on both shelves and neither publishes a model number, so the VENRBD and COSMIC TRIO comparisons above are comparisons of how each platform prices one label, not evidence that the same trouser costs different money in two places. Where fit descriptions differ, we say so.
AJIO publishes no rating or review count on any of the 134 listings read. That is AJIO's own data returned by its own search API, not a limitation of this read.
On Myntra's shared rating counts: several groups of listings show identical star averages and identical counts. We report that as pooled reviews across variants, which is a normal marketplace arrangement. No claim is made that any review is fake.
Prices, stated MRPs and badges move daily. This is one read on one day from one connection, and nothing here alleges wrongdoing by Myntra, AJIO or any brand named.
How to shop these two shelves
- Never compare a badge across the two sites. VENRBD is Rs. 78 dearer on AJIO and badged 5 points deeper, because the two platforms state different reference prices for the same label.
- Compare rupees. The medians are Rs. 696 on Myntra and Rs. 650 on AJIO — close enough that the individual listing, not the platform, decides it.
- Under Rs. 500, go to AJIO. It has 25 listings there; Myntra has one.
- If reviews matter to you, go to Myntra. It publishes a rating on 47 of 66 listings; AJIO publishes none on any of 134.
- Check whether a Myntra rating count is shared. Twelve FABRIPPLE listings run on three pooled counts, and three HIGHLANDER listings share one.
- Treat a stated MRP of Rs. 4,999 as a number, not a price. The dearest cargo actually selling on either shelf is Rs. 1,800.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are cargo trousers cheaper on Myntra or AJIO in November 2026?
They are close enough that the platform is not the deciding factor. Across listings read on 12 November 2026, the median is Rs. 696 on Myntra (66 listings) and Rs. 650 on AJIO (134 listings) — a gap of Rs. 46. AJIO owns the cheap end: 25 of its listings sell under Rs. 500 against one of Myntra's, and its cheapest is Rs. 300. Myntra's range is narrower, Rs. 475 to Rs. 1,364, against AJIO's Rs. 300 to Rs. 1,800. Prices move daily and nothing was bought to verify checkout totals.
Why does the same brand show a bigger discount on AJIO?
Because AJIO states a higher reference price for it. VENRBD's cargos sell at Rs. 772–787 on Myntra against a stated Rs. 1,999, badged 61%, and at Rs. 850 on AJIO against a stated Rs. 2,499, badged 66%. The AJIO listings are about 10% more expensive in actual rupees while displaying the deeper badge. A badge is a distance from a number each platform chooses, so it cannot be compared between two websites. Setting a reference price above a selling price is ordinary, lawful retail practice and nothing improper is alleged.
Does AJIO show ratings on cargo pants?
No. AJIO's own search response returns no star average and no review count for any of the 134 cargo listings read. That is AJIO's published data rather than a gap in this read — the fields come back empty for every item. Myntra publishes a rating on 47 of its 66 listings, including counts as large as 73,510. On a shelf where the median trouser costs under Rs. 700 and fabric quality cannot be judged from a photograph, that absence is worth knowing before you order.
Why do twelve FABRIPPLE cargos all show 70% off on Myntra?
Because all twelve state the same Rs. 1,999 reference price and all twelve sell within an Rs. 17 band, from Rs. 592 to Rs. 609. The badge is therefore a house constant, not a per-item markdown, and it cannot rank FABRIPPLE's own products against each other. Their reviews come from three separate pools — 69,689 ratings shown on six listings, 8,697 on four and 2,586 on two. Identical counts across listings mean reviews are reported together across variants, a normal marketplace arrangement; no claim is made that any review is fake.
How inflated are the stated MRPs on cargo trousers?
Similarly on both shelves, with AJIO holding the extreme case. 17 of Myntra's 66 listings (26%) and 31 of AJIO's 134 (23%) state an MRP at four times the selling price or more; at five times or more it is 12% and 13% respectively. AJIO's maximum is 10.00x — a COSMIC TRIO trouser at Rs. 300 against a stated Rs. 2,999 — against Myntra's 6.68x. AJIO's POSHAX states Rs. 4,999 on five listings that sell for Rs. 550–700, while the dearest cargo actually selling on either shelf is Rs. 1,800.
Prices & codes last verified: November 12, 2026
Prices, stated MRPs and badges recorded from Myntra and AJIO on 12 November 2026 and will change. Nothing was ordered, worn or washed, and no claim is made about cotton content, GSM, weave, stitching, fit or durability — none of that appears on a listing tile. No garment is matched across the two platforms; the VENRBD and COSMIC TRIO comparisons are comparisons of how each platform prices one label, not evidence that an identical trouser is priced differently. AJIO publishes no ratings on this shelf, and Myntra's shared rating counts are pooled across product variants. Stating a reference price above a selling price is ordinary and lawful retail practice, and nothing here alleges wrongdoing by Myntra, AJIO or by any brand named. No coupon code, bank offer or delivery charge is included in any figure.
