The Nehru Place price index
What hardware actually costs here, by category — the average of what every dealer on this directory is asking, recorded daily.
Not enough listed stock to publish an index
A category appears here once at least 3 products in it have live prices. Nothing is estimated or filled in to make the table look complete.
How this is calculated. Every day, each product's median asking price across all dealers listing it is recorded. This table averages those per category, using the most recent day each product has. A category needs 3 products with live prices before it appears.
Averages only, deliberately. No cheapest price is published here, or shown to any dealer. A directory that posts the lowest price in the market every morning is running an undercutting auction, and the dealers in it are neighbours.
Listed asking prices, not transaction prices — nothing on this platform touches a payment, so what a unit finally sold for is between the buyer and the shop.
