Croma TV Prices July 2026: What 12 More Inches Actually Cost

Fifteen thousand nine hundred and ninety rupees, forty-eight per cent off a stated Rs. 30,500, and the cheapest of the forty-eight 43-inch televisions we counted on this shelf — a shelf whose other end is a Sony at Rs. 54,990. Same diagonal, three and a half times the money. What Rs. 15,990 buys honestly: a Full HD panel, not 4K, running Croma's own Linux-based smart platform rather than Google TV, in a bezel-less frame. At 43 inches and a normal Indian living-room viewing distance of eight to ten feet, the resolution difference between Full HD and 4K is genuinely hard to see; the platform difference is not, because Linux smart TVs mean fewer apps, slower updates and no Play Store. This is the second-bedroom, guest-room, hostel-room television, and at this price it is the correct one. If the set is the household's main screen, spend the next Rs. 4,000 — the pick directly below explains why.

• Price: Rs. 15,990 (stated MRP Rs. 30,500)
• Key specification: 43 inch, Full HD LED, Linux — cheapest 43-inch of 48 in the read
• Discount: 48% off, which is Rs. 14,510
• Rating: none published with a review count — no listing in our 160-item read carried one
• Role: Cheapest 43 inch here
• Buying logic: the second-bedroom screen

Nineteen thousand nine hundred and ninety rupees, twenty per cent off a stated Rs. 25,000 — the cheapest 4K television in a hundred-and-sixty-listing read, and the value inflection point of the whole 43-inch shelf. Four thousand rupees over the Full HD Croma above buys two things, and the smaller one is the resolution. The bigger one is Google TV 5.0: a real app store, Chromecast built in, voice search that works, and software updates that keep arriving after year two. Linux-based smart platforms on cheap Indian televisions are where apps go to be discontinued. Note also the badge, only twenty per cent against the 48% above — the stated Rs. 25,000 here is a far more believable sticker than the Rs. 30,500 on the cheaper set, which is the shelf's recurring lesson in miniature: the deeper badge sat on the less honest MRP. For a first main television, this is the page's most defensible Rs. 20,000.

• Price: Rs. 19,990 (stated MRP Rs. 25,000)
• Key specification: 43 inch, 4K LED, Google TV — cheapest 4K in the read
• Discount: 20% off, which is Rs. 5,010

Twenty-two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine rupees, fifty-eight per cent off a stated Rs. 55,250 — the deepest discount on any television in our read, and the cheapest way onto a quantum-dot panel at 43 inches. Read the two numbers separately. The Rs. 55,250 MRP is fiction; no 43-inch set from a TCL sub-brand has ever sold near it, and the badge exists to make Rs. 22,999 feel like a rescue. The Rs. 22,999 is real, and it is genuinely interesting: QLED means a quantum-dot layer over the backlight, which produces measurably better colour volume and brightness than the plain LED sets on either side of it, and Dolby Vision plus Dolby Atmos decoding is a spec sheet you normally start seeing around Rs. 35,000. iFFALCON is TCL's value badge, so the panel supply chain behind it is real even if the brand name is not familiar. Against Samsung's 43-inch Neo QLED at Rs. 54,490 further down this chapter, it is the same category of panel technology at forty-two per cent of the price, with none of the processing.

• Price: Rs. 22,999 (stated MRP Rs. 55,250)
• Key specification: 43 inch, QLED 4K, Dolby Vision — cheapest QLED at this size
• Discount: 58% off, which is Rs. 32,251

Thirty thousand four hundred and ninety rupees, twenty-three per cent off a stated Rs. 39,500. On its own this is an unremarkable purchase — a competent 43-inch 4K LED running Tizen, from the brand with the deepest service network in Indian televisions, with Motion Xcelerator smoothing sport and Alexa built in. Its importance to this page is arithmetical. Croma stocks the identical UE81A set in 55 inches at Rs. 43,490, so twelve extra inches of Samsung cost thirteen thousand rupees. Croma also stocks Samsung's Neo QLED QN70H at the same 43 inches for Rs. 54,490, so the panel upgrade at constant size costs twenty-four thousand. One vendor, one badge, two upgrades, and the more expensive one is the one you will notice less from a sofa eight feet away. That is the finding this whole read is built on, and it is Samsung's own price list that proves it rather than our opinion.

• Price: Rs. 30,490 (stated MRP Rs. 39,500)
• Key specification: 43 inch, 4K LED, Tizen — the size-versus-panel control set
• Discount: 23% off, which is Rs. 9,010
• Rating: none published with a review count — no listing in our 160-item read carried one
• Role: The control set
• Buying logic: hold this number

Fifty-four thousand four hundred and ninety rupees, twelve per cent off a stated Rs. 61,900 — a shallow badge, which on this shelf reliably signals a sticker close to a real price. What Rs. 24,000 over Samsung's own 43-inch LED actually buys is Quantum Mini-LED: thousands of tiny backlight zones dimmed independently, which means deeper blacks in dark scenes, far higher peak brightness for HDR, and no halo around subtitles. In a light-controlled room, watching HDR films, on a wall you sit close to, it is a visible upgrade and we will not pretend otherwise. In a bright Indian living room showing cricket and streaming series at eight feet, it is the most expensive thing on this page that most buyers would fail to identify blind. And there is the awkward comparison it cannot escape: the 55-inch of Samsung's plain UE81A LED is Rs. 43,490 — eleven thousand rupees less than this, with twelve more inches of screen. Buy this one only if you know precisely why.

• Price: Rs. 54,490 (stated MRP Rs. 61,900)
• Key specification: 43 inch, Neo QLED Mini-LED — Rs. 24,000 over Samsung's own 43-inch LED
• Discount: 12% off, which is Rs. 7,410

Twenty-seven thousand nine hundred and ninety rupees, forty-three per cent off a stated Rs. 48,800. Taken alone it is a mid-shelf 43-inch 4K LED on Google TV, priced Rs. 8,000 above the Croma house-brand equivalent and Rs. 2,500 below Samsung's. Taken as the first rung of a ladder, it is the most useful listing in the read, because Croma stocks this exact V6C line in four diagonals — 43, 50, 55 and 65 inches — with the same panel technology, the same processor and the same operating system at every step. That is the rarest thing in a television aisle: a genuine like-for-like size comparison with brand, spec and platform all held constant. The next three picks walk it. The short version, if you want it now: another twelve inches costs Rs. 7,000, another ten after that costs Rs. 15,000, and one of the four rungs is priced so oddly that nobody should buy it.

• Price: Rs. 27,990 (stated MRP Rs. 48,800)
• Key specification: 43 inch, 4K LED, Google TV — the ladder's bottom rung
• Discount: 43% off, which is Rs. 20,810

Thirty-four thousand nine hundred and ninety rupees, forty-two per cent off a stated Rs. 59,900. There is nothing wrong with this television. There is something very wrong with its position on the shelf, because the 55-inch of the identical V6C line — same 4K LED panel, same 4-star rating, same Google TV, same brand — is also Rs. 34,990. Not close to it. The same number. Five inches of diagonal, which at this size is roughly a fourteen per cent bigger picture area, available for zero rupees, and the two listings sit far enough apart in Croma's own results that most shoppers will never see them together. We have found colourway premiums and sibling-model gaps on every shelf we read, but a strictly dominated listing is rarer and more useful: this is not a judgement call about value, it is arithmetic. The only reason to buy the 50-inch is a wall unit or cabinet that physically cannot take 55 inches. Measure first. Then buy the next pick.

• Price: Rs. 34,990 (stated MRP Rs. 59,900)
• Key specification: 50 inch, 4K LED — priced identically to the 55-inch of the same line
• Discount: 42% off, which is Rs. 24,910
• Rating: none published with a review count — no listing in our 160-item read carried one
• Role: Do not buy this one
• Buying logic: strictly dominated, measure first

Thirty-four thousand nine hundred and ninety rupees, fifty-one per cent off a stated Rs. 71,850 — and the same rupee figure as the 50-inch above it, which makes this the easiest recommendation on the page. Fifty-five inches is the size most Indian living rooms should be buying in 2026: at the eight-to-ten-foot viewing distance a typical hall imposes, it is the diagonal at which 4K resolution starts doing visible work, and it is still narrow enough for a standard console. The V6C's spec is unglamorous and sufficient — 4K LED, Google TV with the full app store, voice remote, a 4-star energy rating that will show up on the bill. What you are not getting is quantum dots, high peak brightness or serious motion processing, and this page's whole argument is that at Rs. 34,990 you should take the inches and leave the panel. Against Samsung's 43-inch Neo QLED at Rs. 54,490, this is twelve more inches for nineteen thousand five hundred rupees less.

• Price: Rs. 34,990 (stated MRP Rs. 71,850)
• Key specification: 55 inch, 4K LED — five free inches over the 50-inch at the same price
• Discount: 51% off, which is Rs. 36,860

• Role: Best overall
• Buying logic: take the inches

Forty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety rupees, fifty-seven per cent off a stated Rs. 115,200 — an MRP no 65-inch TCL has ever transacted at, and a selling price that closes the ladder cleanly. Here is the whole staircase in one line: Rs. 27,990 at 43 inches, Rs. 34,990 at 50, Rs. 34,990 at 55, Rs. 49,990 at 65. Twenty-two thousand rupees buys twenty-two inches of diagonal within a single model line, which works out at roughly a thousand rupees an inch — against the twenty-four thousand rupees Samsung charges for a panel upgrade that adds no inches at all. Sixty-five inches is not for every room: below ten feet of viewing distance it starts demanding you move your head, and it needs a wall rather than a cabinet. But if the room is large and the budget is Rs. 50,000, this is the honest way to spend it. The dishonest way, on this shelf, is to spend Rs. 54,490 on a 43-inch set with a better backlight.

• Price: Rs. 49,990 (stated MRP Rs. 115,200)
• Key specification: 65 inch, 4K LED — Rs. 22,000 over the 43-inch of the same line
• Discount: 57% off, which is Rs. 65,210

• Buying logic: about a thousand rupees an inch

Twenty-nine thousand four hundred and ninety-nine rupees, forty-six per cent off a stated Rs. 54,999 — the cheapest 55-inch television in the read, and the single listing that makes this page's argument fastest. It costs nine hundred and ninety-one rupees less than the Samsung 43-inch LED in chapter one, and it is both twelve inches bigger and a quantum-dot panel rather than a plain one. Two upgrades, for less money, from a brand you were not planning to buy. That is the trade being offered, and the honest counterweight is service: Kodak televisions in India are built under licence by SPPL, the network is thinner than Samsung's or LG's, and a panel failure in year four is a materially different experience. Our own reads keep finding that the deepest badges cluster on the least familiar names, and this is the pattern's purest television example. If the set is going in a second home, a rented flat or a room where a five-year life is acceptable, take the inches. If it is the main screen for the next decade, pay for the network.

• Price: Rs. 29,499 (stated MRP Rs. 54,999)
• Key specification: 55 inch, QLED 4K — cheapest 55-inch in the read, and it is a QLED
• Discount: 46% off, which is Rs. 25,500

• Role: Cheapest 55 inch here
• Buying logic: two upgrades, less money, thinner network

Forty-three thousand four hundred and ninety rupees, twenty-one per cent off a stated Rs. 55,200 — and the number that completes the experiment. This is the same UE81A set as the 43-inch at Rs. 30,490 in chapter one: same Tizen platform, same Motion Xcelerator, same 4K LED panel, same warranty, same service network. The only variable is the diagonal, and the diagonal costs thirteen thousand rupees for twelve inches. Now put it against the other upgrade Samsung sells from that same Rs. 30,490 starting point: staying at 43 inches and moving to the Neo QLED QN70H costs twenty-four thousand. Size is Rs. 1,083 an inch here. The panel is Rs. 24,000 for nothing you can measure with a tape. For a mainstream buyer with a Rs. 45,000 ceiling who wants Samsung specifically — and plenty of buyers do, reasonably, for the software and the service — this is the correct set on the shelf, and the picks on either side of it exist to show you why.

• Price: Rs. 43,490 (stated MRP Rs. 55,200)
• Key specification: 55 inch, 4K LED, Tizen — Rs. 13,000 over the 43-inch of the same set

Eighty-four thousand four hundred and ninety rupees, fifteen per cent off a stated Rs. 99,900 — the shallow-badge, honest-sticker end of the shelf, where Samsung, Sony and LG all live and none of them discount much. This is the 55-inch of the Neo QLED line whose 43-inch sits at Rs. 54,490: Quantum Mini-LED backlighting, Samsung's better processor, the anti-glare handling that actually matters in a bright Indian hall, and a set that will still look current in 2032. Nobody buying it will be disappointed. The comparison we owe you is what else Rs. 84,490 does on this same shelf. It buys Samsung's plain 55-inch LED at Rs. 43,490 with Rs. 41,000 left over. It buys the TCL V6C in 65 inches at Rs. 49,990 with Rs. 34,500 left over. Or it very nearly buys the next pick, which is a 75-inch QLED for Rs. 500 more. If your room is large, that last comparison is the one to sit with.

• Price: Rs. 84,490 (stated MRP Rs. 99,900)
• Key specification: 55 inch, Neo QLED Mini-LED — both upgrades bought at once
• Discount: 15% off, which is Rs. 15,410

• Role: Both upgrades at once
• Buying logic: the honest-sticker end

Eighty-four thousand nine hundred and ninety rupees, forty-seven per cent off a stated Rs. 159,990 — a sticker to disregard, attached to the page's sharpest decision. Five hundred rupees separates this from the 55-inch Samsung Neo QLED above, and the difference in what arrives at your door is twenty inches of diagonal: roughly an eighty-five per cent larger picture area. Both are quantum-dot panels. The Samsung has the better backlight control, the better processor and the deeper service network; the TCL has the size, a 4-star energy rating, Google TV and a Rs. 500 price gap that is functionally zero. For a large hall, a projector-replacement setup or anyone who has ever thought a 55-inch looked small on the wall, this is the more rational purchase by a distance, and the honest caveats are physical rather than technical — 75 inches needs a wall mount, a two-person install, ten feet of viewing distance and a doorway it fits through. Measure the room before the specs. This page's argument ends here: buy the inches.

• Price: Rs. 84,990 (stated MRP Rs. 159,990)
• Key specification: 75 inch, QLED 4K — Rs. 500 more than a 55-inch Neo QLED

Eight thousand four hundred and ninety-nine rupees, sixty-five per cent off a stated Rs. 23,990 — the deepest badge anywhere in our hundred-and-sixty-listing read, and by some distance the highest-value accessory decision on this page. Every television above sounds worse than it looks, for one unavoidable reason: a panel eight millimetres thick has nowhere to put a speaker, so audio fires backwards into the wall from drivers the size of a matchbox. A 2.1 soundbar with a separate subwoofer fixes dialogue clarity and low end at once, and it improves a Rs. 20,000 television more than Rs. 8,000 of extra television would. The Rs. 23,990 MRP is theatre — boAt's entire category median discount in our read was sixty-six per cent, which tells you the sticker is a design element, not a price. Judge the Rs. 8,499 instead: 160 watts, Dolby Audio decoding, Bluetooth, a wired sub. It will not resolve an orchestra. It will make Hindi dialogue audible over a ceiling fan, which is the actual problem.

• Price: Rs. 8,499 (stated MRP Rs. 23,990)
• Key specification: 160 W, 2.1 channel with wired subwoofer, Dolby Audio
• Discount: 65% off, which is Rs. 15,491
• Rating: none published with a review count — no listing in our 160-item read carried one

Seventeen thousand nine hundred and ninety rupees, ten per cent off a stated Rs. 19,990 — a two-thousand-rupee badge against boAt's fifteen-thousand-rupee one, and a useful lesson in reading both. Sony discounts shallowly across this shelf, with a median of twenty per cent across nineteen listings against TCL's forty-three and boAt's sixty-six; shallow badges here mean stickers that were never inflated. What Rs. 17,990 buys that Rs. 8,499 cannot: two physical rear satellite speakers on wires, which is the only way to get sound that genuinely originates behind the sofa. Every soundbar promising virtual surround, including the expensive Dolby Atmos ones further up this shelf, is bouncing sound off your ceiling and hoping the room cooperates. Rear speakers do not hope. The cost is domestic — two speaker cables crossing the floor, and a family that has to agree to them. If cable routing is possible, this is the best film-and-cricket audio on the page under Rs. 20,000. If it is not, the boAt is the honest answer.

• Price: Rs. 17,990 (stated MRP Rs. 19,990)
• Key specification: 400 W, true 5.1 with two rear speakers — the read's shallowest audio badge

Three thousand eight hundred and ninety-four rupees, thirty-five per cent off a stated Rs. 5,999. The reason it is here is not the discount but the shelf around it, because Croma's Fire TV Stick pricing on July 31 was internally incoherent in a way worth exploiting. The 4K stick is Rs. 3,894. The HD stick — same platform, lower resolution — is Rs. 4,499, six hundred and five rupees more for less capability. The newer 4K with Wi-Fi 6 is Rs. 5,999, the Full HD is Rs. 1,794, and the Fire TV Stick Lite, which is the Full HD's cut-down sibling, is Rs. 1,994, two hundred rupees more than the better model. Nothing about that ladder rewards buying the model whose name sounds right. Take the Rs. 3,894 one. And a note that saves real money: this Rs. 3,894 stick will give a five-year-old dumb 4K television the same Netflix, Prime and app experience as any set on this page. Before replacing a working screen, try a stick.

• Price: Rs. 3,894 (stated MRP Rs. 5,999)
• Key specification: 4K HDR10+ streaming stick — Rs. 605 under the HD stick on the same shelf
