A Rs 12,000 Suit for Rs 4,000: the Deepest Cuts All Stop at the Same Price
Among the deepest genuine discounts at 67%, most land on exactly Rs 4,000, and there is a reason the floor sits there.
Correction, 23 August 2026
The stock figures in this story were wrong, and the fault was ours. Our scraper only updates what it can see on a brand's collection pages. When an item sells out and drops off those pages, the row is never revisited and stays flagged in stock. By 22 August that had reached 100,103 rows, 46,164 of which had not been seen in over ninety days.
- Discounted items: 61,238 β 33,515
- Average genuine discount: 41% β 38%
- At 50% off or deeper: 22,856 β 9,465
The counts were wrong, and two of the examples are gone. Of the four items named, both Stylo pieces are now out of stock; both Edenrobe suits remain live at Rs 4,000. The observation itself, that the deepest cuts settle around a third of the original price, is unaffected.
Anything built on price history, the frozen-price days, the Limelight increases, the new-arrival counts, rests on real recorded data and still stands. How we work.
22 August 2026
Looking at the deepest end of the 22,856 half-price items, something stands out: the biggest cuts nearly all stop at one number, Rs 4,000.
- Stylo 3-piece embroidered chiffon suit, Rs 12,000 β Rs 4,000 (-67%)
- Stylo long shoes WN9019, Rs 12,000 β Rs 4,000 (-67%)
- Edenrobe printed cambric 3-piece, Rs 11,990 β Rs 4,000 (-67%)
- Edenrobe printed mesuri 3-piece, Rs 11,990 β Rs 4,000 (-67%)
Why stop at Rs 4,000? Because that is roughly where a price stops reading as "a bargain" and starts reading as "something must be wrong with it". A Rs 12,000 embroidered chiffon suit at Rs 4,000 feels like a find. The same suit at Rs 2,500 makes a shopper wonder about the fabric. So the floor of a clearance tends to settle around a third of the original price.
That is also our own limit. We only accept a "was" price up to 3Γ the current one: if a Rs 2,000 item claims it was once Rs 10,000, that discount does not enter our averages, because such a reference price often exists only on the sticker. So 67% is the deepest cut our figures can show, beyond that we cannot verify the claim ourselves, so we do not count it. How we do it.
