Croma PC Deals July 2026: 21 Picks and the MRP Problem

We are opening with the pick that has the most people standing behind it. A hundred and sixty-seven ratings is a sample large enough that the 4.5 has survived ordinary use rather than launch enthusiasm, and the price is a genuine one: Rs. 820 against an MRP of Rs. 1,295 is a 37% cut off a figure Logitech actually charges. That last clause is the whole argument of this page. Silent click buttons matter more than the spec sheet suggests if you share a room or take calls at a desk, and this is the cheapest credible way to get them. Nothing here is exciting. It is simply correct.

• Price: Rs. 820 (MRP Rs. 1,295)
• Discount: 37% off, which is Rs. 475
• Customer rating: 4.5/5 from 167 ratings
• Role: Best-evidenced buy on the page
• Buying logic: a real MRP, cut by a real 37%

The second-largest sample in our entire pull, and it belongs to the least glamorous product category on the site. Dual-band WiFi 5 is not current-generation, and that is precisely why it is Rs. 2,049 — the WiFi 6 equivalents on the same page cost two to three times as much and deliver nothing extra on a 100 Mbps home connection, which is what most Indian households actually have. Four antennas and five LAN ports is the right shape for a two-bedroom flat. Buy the generation behind and put the difference into the broadband plan itself, where it will be more noticeable.

• Price: Rs. 2,049 (MRP Rs. 3,599)
• Discount: 43% off, which is Rs. 1,550
• Customer rating: 4.6/5 from 143 ratings
• Role: Most-rated router here
• Buying logic: a generation behind is the value band

More people have rated this printer than anything else in our 230-product pull, and its discount is 20% — near the bottom of the range on a page where the badge goes up to 95%. That is not a coincidence and it is the pattern this article is built on: the products with real demand behind them carry modest, believable cuts, because their MRPs were never fictional to begin with. On the machine itself, the running cost is what matters on a home printer, and cartridge-based Pixmas are cheaper to buy and dearer to feed than the ink-tank models further down Croma's range. If you print more than a few pages a week, cost that out before buying.

• Price: Rs. 5,199 (MRP Rs. 6,495)
• Discount: 20% off, which is Rs. 1,296
• Customer rating: 4.3/5 from 172 ratings
• Role: Largest sample in the entire pull
• Buying logic: cheap to buy, dearer to feed

A wireless keyboard and mouse on a single receiver for Rs. 1,999, with ninety ratings behind it. The spill-resistant construction is the specification worth naming, because the way a cheap keyboard usually dies is a drink rather than wear. Again the discount is 20% — the same shallow band as the Canon above and for the same reason. Set this against the 85%-off gaming combo in the next chapter, which costs Rs. 545 less and carries a tenth of the evidence, and the choice between a believable price and a dramatic badge is laid out about as clearly as this page can make it.

• Price: Rs. 1,999 (MRP Rs. 2,495)
• Discount: 20% off, which is Rs. 496
• Customer rating: 4.4/5 from 90 ratings
• Role: Best keyboard-and-mouse value
• Buying logic: spills kill keyboards, not wear

Divide the price by the capacity and this is the most sensible storage buy on the page at about Rs. 12.5 a gigabyte. The 3.0 interface is the part to insist on — the 2.0 drives elsewhere in this list are a third of the speed for reasons that have nothing to do with capacity, and the difference is obvious the first time you move a video file. Fifty-five ratings at 4.5 is a decent sample. The 41% cut is the largest in this opening chapter and still well inside the believable range, which is roughly where our confidence in a Croma discount stops being automatic.

• Price: Rs. 1,599 (MRP Rs. 2,700)
• Discount: 41% off, which is Rs. 1,101
• Customer rating: 4.5/5 from 55 ratings
• Role: Best storage-per-rupee
• Buying logic: insist on the 3.0 interface

Fifteen percent off is the smallest cut anywhere in this list, which under the logic of a deals page makes it the worst buy here and under the logic of this particular page makes it one of the most honest. Logitech does not inflate an MRP in order to discount it, so a thin cut on a Logitech is a real Rs. 250 rather than a rounding of a fiction. Against the M221 that opened this chapter you are paying Rs. 575 more for better tracking and a longer battery, which is a fair upgrade to decline. We are including it mainly to establish the baseline: this is what a genuine discount on a genuinely priced product looks like.

• Price: Rs. 1,395 (MRP Rs. 1,645)
• Discount: 15% off, which is Rs. 250
• Customer rating: 4.4/5 from 59 ratings
• Role: Shallowest discount here, and worth it
• Buying logic: thin cuts on honest MRPs

Here is the other end of the page. A laptop sling bag listed at Rs. 154 against an MRP of Rs. 2,990 — the deepest cut in the entire pull, and it carries no ratings at all. We would ask the obvious question directly: has this bag ever sold at Rs. 2,990? A nylon sling for a 13-inch laptop competes with things that retail around Rs. 500 to Rs. 800, which makes the stated MRP look less like a former price and more like a number chosen to produce a large badge. None of which means Rs. 154 is a bad price. It means the 95% is describing the MRP, not the bag, and those are different claims.

• Price: Rs. 154 (MRP Rs. 2,990)
• Discount: 95% off, which is Rs. 2,836
• Customer rating: none — no ratings on the listing
• Role: Deepest discount in the sample
• Buying logic: the badge describes the MRP

The second-deepest discount on the page, and this one can be checked against Croma's own shelf rather than against our judgement. Chapter Three of this article contains a SanDisk Cruzer Blade 64GB — the same brand, the same capacity — selling at Rs. 1,099 with no discount at all. So a 64GB SanDisk drive is a roughly-thousand-rupee product on this very site, and the Rs. 6,000 MRP attached to this one describes nothing that exists. Rs. 434 is a good price for a 64GB dual-purpose drive. The 93% is not a saving of Rs. 5,566, and treating it as one is how these badges do their work.

• Price: Rs. 434 (MRP Rs. 6,000)
• Discount: 93% off, which is Rs. 5,566
• Customer rating: none — no ratings on the listing
• Role: Second-deepest cut, also unrated
• Buying logic: check the badge against the shelf

This is the most instructive entry on the page, because the discount is completely genuine and still not what it appears. Rs. 15,900 really was Apple's price for this keyboard. The iPad Pro 10.5-inch it attaches to was released in 2017, has been out of production for years, and the keyboard is a physical-fit accessory that works with almost nothing else — so the MRP is accurate, the stock is stranded and the 87% is the market clearing an orphan. Twenty-six people rated it 4.9, which is a small but genuinely positive sample. If you own that specific iPad, this is the best value in the entire article. If you do not, it is worth nothing at all.

• Price: Rs. 1,994 (MRP Rs. 15,900)
• Discount: 87% off, which is Rs. 13,906
• Customer rating: 4.9/5 from 26 ratings
• Role: The discontinued-stock discount

A five-piece gaming bundle — keyboard, mouse, headset, mousepad and stand — for Rs. 1,454, against a stated MRP of Rs. 9,990. Set it beside the Logitech MK275 in Chapter One: Rs. 545 dearer, two items instead of five, a 20% badge instead of 85%, and ninety ratings instead of ten. We would take the Logitech, and not because bundles are inherently bad. A five-item bundle at this price means each item costs around Rs. 290, and at Rs. 290 a mechanical-feel keyboard and a headset are both making compromises you will notice daily. Ten ratings at 4.4 is not enough to tell you which compromise you are getting.

• Price: Rs. 1,454 (MRP Rs. 9,990)
• Discount: 85% off, which is Rs. 8,536
• Customer rating: 4.4/5 from 10 ratings
• Role: The badge-versus-evidence comparison
• Buying logic: divide the bundle by its parts

Eighty-three percent off, twelve ratings, and unlike the sling bag this one is worth owning regardless of what the MRP claims. A small UPS keeps a router and an ONT alive through the short cuts that are routine across most of India, which means a video call survives an outage the rest of the street notices. Rs. 674 is the second-cheapest price in this article. Two Amps is modest — this is for network gear, not a desktop, and the APC in the final chapter is the answer if you need to keep a PC running. Judge it on the Rs. 674, which is genuinely low, rather than on the Rs. 4,000 it is measured against.

• Price: Rs. 674 (MRP Rs. 4,000)
• Discount: 83% off, which is Rs. 3,326
• Customer rating: 3.9/5 from 12 ratings
• Role: Cheapest genuinely useful thing here
• Buying logic: keeps the router up through a cut

The largest claimed rupee saving in this chapter and the thinnest evidence anywhere on the page. A 24-inch Full HD VA monitor is a Rs. 7,000 to Rs. 9,000 product across the Indian market, so Rs. 6,999 is a fair price and the Rs. 26,999 MRP is describing a monitor that does not exist at that specification. The 5.0 rating comes from one person. Compare it with the Lenovo in the final chapter — Rs. 12,435, a 39% cut, seventeen ratings and an IPS panel, which shifts colour far less when you move your head than VA does. That is where we would put the money on a screen you will look at daily for years.

• Price: Rs. 6,999 (MRP Rs. 26,999)
• Discount: 74% off, which is Rs. 20,000
• Customer rating: 5.0/5 from 1 ratings
• Role: Biggest rupee gap, smallest sample

This is the finding that reframes the whole page. The single most-rated product in our entire 230-item pull — 320 ratings at 4.6, more than double the next-largest sample — is listed at Rs. 690 against an MRP of Rs. 650. It is selling for Rs. 40 more than the maximum retail price on its own listing. We are not alleging anything about intent; small drives are cheap, prices move, and listing data goes stale. But it does establish what the MRP field on this site is: a number in a database that can sit above or below the price without anything on the page flagging it. Once you have seen a negative discount, a 95% one reads differently.

• Price: Rs. 690 (MRP Rs. 650)
• Discount: none — listed Rs. 40 ABOVE the stated MRP
• Customer rating: 4.6/5 from 320 ratings
• Role: Priced above its own MRP
• Buying logic: the MRP field is just a field

One rupee off. A hundred and nineteen ratings at 4.5, which makes it one of the best-evidenced products in this article, and Croma is discounting it by 0.09%. This is the reference price we used two chapters ago to test the Rs. 6,000 MRP on the iXpand drive, and it is worth restating what it establishes: a 64GB SanDisk pen drive is an eleven-hundred-rupee product, undiscounted, on this very site. Any 64GB SanDisk listing carrying a much larger MRP is therefore carrying a number that Croma's own shelf contradicts. The drive itself is USB 2.0 and slow; buy the Ultra 128GB from Chapter One instead unless you want the cheapest possible key-ring drive.

• Price: Rs. 1,099 (MRP Rs. 1,100)
• Discount: none worth the name — Rs. 1 off
• Customer rating: 4.5/5 from 119 ratings
• Role: Zero percent, and the reference price
• Buying logic: USB 2.0 is a third the speed

We pulled fourteen Apple desktops in this sample and every single one is listed at exactly its MRP — no discount, no badge, no gap. That is not Croma declining to compete; it is what happens when a manufacturer prices its own product and enforces it, so the MRP and the selling price are the same number because they were always meant to be. Hold this against the 95% sling bag and the shape of the page becomes clear: the badge is large exactly where the MRP is soft, and it disappears entirely where the MRP is real. On the machine, the M4 Mac mini is the best value Apple currently sells, and Rs. 1,18,900 is what it costs everywhere.

• Price: Rs. 118,900 (MRP Rs. 118,900)
• Discount: none worth the name — Rs. 0 off
• Customer rating: none — no ratings on the listing
• Role: The brand that never discounts
• Buying logic: a real MRP produces no badge

The second product in this article priced above its own stated MRP, and at a scale that is harder to attribute to a stale field: Rs. 61,999 against Rs. 58,014, a gap of Rs. 3,985. Five people have rated it 3.4, which is the lowest score in this list and rests on too few ratings to mean much. The camera is a good one — the ZV-E10 is the default choice for anyone starting to shoot video seriously, and the 16-50mm kit lens is adequate rather than good. Our point is narrower: check the actual rupee figure against another retailer before buying anything here, because the MRP shown on this listing is not functioning as a ceiling.

• Price: Rs. 61,999 (MRP Rs. 58,014)
• Discount: none — listed Rs. 3,985 ABOVE the stated MRP
• Customer rating: 3.4/5 from 5 ratings
• Role: Second listing priced above MRP

Eleven rupees. That is a 0.16% discount, and it closes this chapter because it demonstrates that Croma's listing system will happily display a discount of any size, including one that rounds to nothing. Seven ratings at 4.1 is a thin sample. On the product: a 1TB portable hard drive at Rs. 6,889 is poor value in 2026 next to the SSDs in the same catalogue, which cost more per terabyte but are several times faster and survive being dropped — the failure mode that actually kills portable drives. Buy a mechanical drive only if you need bulk archive storage and have somewhere safe to keep it.

• Price: Rs. 6,889 (MRP Rs. 6,900)
• Discount: none worth the name — Rs. 11 off
• Customer rating: 4.1/5 from 7 ratings
• Role: Eleven rupees off

The screen we would buy from this entire pull. Rs. 12,435 is roughly Rs. 5,400 more than the Zebronics in Chapter Two, and the difference buys an IPS panel instead of VA — which matters because IPS holds its colour when you are not sitting dead centre, and nobody sits dead centre all day. The 39% cut is off an MRP of Rs. 20,490, a figure consistent with what a 24-inch IPS monitor from a major brand actually costs. Seventeen ratings at 4.5 is a modest sample but a real one. This is the pick where paying more for a smaller badge is most obviously correct.

• Price: Rs. 12,435 (MRP Rs. 20,490)
• Discount: 39% off, which is Rs. 8,055
• Customer rating: 4.5/5 from 17 ratings
• Role: Best monitor to actually buy

If exactly one room in the flat has bad WiFi, this is a better Rs. 1,549 than any router upgrade, because the problem is usually a wall rather than the router. A range extender halves throughput on the extended band — a real cost, and one nobody mentions when selling them — which makes it right for a bedroom used for video calls and browsing and wrong for the room where someone games. Fifty-five ratings at 4.3 reflects roughly that: it works, with a caveat. Buy it instead of the AC1200 in Chapter One if your current router is fine everywhere except one corner.

• Price: Rs. 1,549 (MRP Rs. 3,599)
• Discount: 57% off, which is Rs. 2,050
• Customer rating: 4.3/5 from 55 ratings

A thousand-odd rupees more than the Luminous in Chapter Two, and a different product for a different job: this one is sized to keep a desktop alive long enough to save work and shut down properly, which the 2-amp unit is not. APC is also the brand with the widest service presence in this category, and a UPS is a consumable — the battery is the part that fails, usually in about three years, and being able to get one replaced locally is most of the value. Nineteen ratings at 4.5. The 51% off Rs. 3,750 is on the believable side of this page's range.

• Price: Rs. 1,844 (MRP Rs. 3,750)
• Discount: 51% off, which is Rs. 1,906
• Customer rating: 4.5/5 from 19 ratings
• Role: The UPS to buy if it runs a PC

We are closing with the bag we would actually buy, and the direct comparison to the entry that opened Chapter Two. This is Rs. 749 against that sling bag's Rs. 154, carries a 58% badge instead of 95%, and has sixty-one ratings at 4.4 behind it against zero. Twenty-one litres with a padded 15.6-inch sleeve is a genuine commuting bag rather than a slip case, and at Rs. 749 it is still cheap by any standard. That is the page in one comparison: the smaller badge, the higher price and the larger sample are all pointing the same way, and the way they point is the one to follow.

• Price: Rs. 749 (MRP Rs. 1,800)
• Discount: 58% off, which is Rs. 1,051
• Customer rating: 4.4/5 from 61 ratings
• Role: The honest end of the bag shelf
