![Two sarees, one from AJIO's shelf and one from Nykaa Fashion's, on this page comparing saree prices at the two retailers in September 2026]()
We priced both saree shelves on 1 September 2026 — 41 listings on AJIO, 42 on Nykaa Fashion — and they are not competing for the same buyer.
AJIO's median saree is Rs. 805; Nykaa Fashion's is Rs. 1,720. Thirty-six of AJIO's 41 listings cost less than Nykaa Fashion's median saree does.

📅 Update log:
1 Sep 2026 — first published. Every price, MRP and discount percentage on this page was read from each retailer's own listing data on 1 September 2026 — AJIO's listing API for the search "saree" and Nykaa Fashion's API for its ethnic category — with no filters, no sort applied and no account signed in. Medians, band counts and the shelf comparison are our own arithmetic over that data. The two shelves share no brands, so no same-saree price comparison is claimed. Neither retailer returned rating values. We re-read both shelves and log what changes.
Two shelves of the same garment, priced a tier apart
We read both retailers' saree listings on 1 September 2026 — 41 on AJIO, 42 on Nykaa Fashion, no filters, no sort, not signed in. The shelves are almost exactly the same size and almost nothing else about them matches.
AJIO's median saree costs Rs. 805. Nykaa Fashion's costs Rs. 1,720 — 2.1 times as much. The floors are Rs. 222 against Rs. 504 and the ceilings Rs. 2,600 against Rs. 4,636.
Put another way: 36 of AJIO's 41 listings sit below Nykaa Fashion's median price. These are not two stores competing on the same saree. They are two different tiers of the market.
| Measure | AJIO | Nykaa Fashion | What it means |
|---|
| Saree listings read | 41 | 42 | Comparable shelf sizes |
| Cheapest listing | Rs. 222 | Rs. 504 | AJIO's floor is 2.3x lower |
| Dearest listing | Rs. 2,600 | Rs. 4,636 | Nykaa Fashion reaches 78% higher |
| Median price | Rs. 805 | Rs. 1,720 | The core difference: 2.1x |
| Median discount | 75% | 57.5% | AJIO discounts harder |
| Discount range | 33% - 84% | 5% - 82% | Nykaa Fashion has near-full-price listings |
| Listings under Rs. 800 | 20 of 41 | 2 of 42 | Budget shelf is AJIO's |
| Listings under Rs. 1,500 | 36 of 41 | 16 of 42 | Most of AJIO sits below NF's median |
| Listings over Rs. 2,000 | 1 of 41 | 14 of 42 | The upper tier is Nykaa Fashion's |
💡 Under Rs. 800 this is not a contest. AJIO had 20 sarees in that band on the day we read it; Nykaa Fashion had two. Above Rs. 2,000 it reverses — Nykaa Fashion has fourteen listings there and AJIO has one.
AJIO: cheap in rupees, uniform in percentages
AJIO's saree shelf starts at Rs. 222 and half of it is under Rs. 805. What it does not have is variation in the discount badge: the median is 75 per cent and even the shallowest listing is 33 per cent off.
That uniformity means the percentage cannot help you choose. Every listing in the table below is between 69 and 84 per cent off, and the MRPs they are calculated from — Rs. 1,388, Rs. 1,998, Rs. 2,999, Rs. 3,499 — are round numbers that recur across unrelated products elsewhere on the site.
The rupee figures are the reliable part, and they are genuinely low: a printed saree for Rs. 222, a Banarasi silk for Rs. 500, a pure mulmul cotton for Rs. 671.
| AJIO listing | Price | Listed MRP | Off |
|---|
| Saadhvi Women Floral Print Saree, Contrast Border | Rs. 222 | Rs. 1,388 | 84% |
| Indie Picks Occasional Solid Lace Border Silk Saree | Rs. 426 | Rs. 1,854 | 77% |
| Revangi Women Traditional Saree | Rs. 496 | Rs. 1,599 | 69% |
| Indie Picks Women Banarasi Silk Traditional Saree | Rs. 500 | Rs. 1,998 | 75% |
| Nyrika Women Woven Saree with Zari Border | Rs. 625 | Rs. 2,499 | 75% |
| Revangi Women Saree with Embroidered Scalloped Border | Rs. 660 | Rs. 2,999 | 78% |
| Indie Picks Women Cotton Saree, Pure Mulmul | Rs. 671 | Rs. 3,197 | 79% |
| Indie Picks Banarasi Artsilk Half-and-Half Saree | Rs. 672 | Rs. 2,798 | 76% |
| Indie Picks Woven Linen Silk Printed Designer Saree | Rs. 805 | Rs. 3,499 | 77% |
| Nyrika Women Embroidered Saree with Blouse Piece | Rs. 862 | Rs. 3,749 | 77% |
₹ Neither retailer published ratings. Across all 83 saree listings we read, no rating or rating-count value was returned by either site's listing data. There is no review evidence to weigh on either shelf, and this page makes no claim about quality in either direction.
Nykaa Fashion: a higher tier, and real price variation
Nykaa Fashion's shelf starts at Rs. 504 and climbs to Rs. 4,636, with fourteen listings above Rs. 2,000. The named brands — Gajra Gang, Anjaneya Sarees, AMRUTKALA, Jaipur Kurti, Akhilam, Garden VARELI — do not appear on AJIO's shelf at all, so there is no same-saree price to compare.
The more interesting difference is the discount spread. Nykaa Fashion's range runs from 82 per cent down to 5 per cent, and the shallow end is real: a Rs. 4,636 saree at 5 per cent off Rs. 4,880, a Rs. 3,192 saree at 16 per cent, a Rs. 2,695 saree at 23 per cent.
A listing sold at 5 per cent off is a much stronger signal that the MRP means something than a listing sold at 75 per cent off. On this shelf the badge actually varies with the item, which is more than can be said for either site's budget end.
| Nykaa Fashion listing | Price | Listed MRP | Off |
|---|
| Garden VARELI Teal Abstract Printed Saree | Rs. 504 | Rs. 1,799 | 72% |
| Gajra Gang B-Desi Divas Rust Marble Print Saree | Rs. 644 | Rs. 2,799 | 77% |
| Garden VARELI Purple Chiffon Floral Saree | Rs. 836 | Rs. 1,369 | 39% |
| Akhilam Women's Linen Pink Printed Party Wear Saree | Rs. 1,109 | Rs. 3,999 | 72% |
| Jaipur Kurti Cotton Blend Printed Saree | Rs. 1,170 | Rs. 2,999 | 61% |
| Anjaneya Sarees Brown Banarasi Silk Kanjivaram Saree | Rs. 1,290 | Rs. 2,999 | 57% |
| AMRUTKALA Blue Designer Banarasi Silk Kanjivaram Saree | Rs. 1,320 | Rs. 2,999 | 56% |
| AMRUTKALA Cream Designer Linen Sequined Saree | Rs. 1,380 | Rs. 2,999 | 54% |
| Swtantra Gold Chocolate Chiffon Saree, Unstitched Blouse | Rs. 2,695 | Rs. 3,499 | 23% |
| Gajra Gang Pink Georgette Floral Embellished Saree | Rs. 2,850 | Rs. 3,799 | 25% |
| Gajra Gang Pink Tissue Colour-Block Gota Saree | Rs. 3,192 | Rs. 3,799 | 16% |
| Save As Bold Black Daisy Floral Saree without Blouse | Rs. 4,636 | Rs. 4,880 | 5% |
Why there is no head-to-head saree in this comparison
A same-product price comparison needs the same product on both sites, and these two shelves share no brands at all. AJIO's saree listings on the day came from Saadhvi, Indie Picks, Nyrika and Revangi; Nykaa Fashion's from Garden VARELI, Gajra Gang, Anjaneya Sarees, AMRUTKALA, Jaipur Kurti, Akhilam, Swtantra and Save As. None of these overlap, so everything on this page is a comparison of what each shelf contains and at what price, not a claim that one retailer undercuts the other on any specific saree. Discount percentages are each retailer's own, calculated against MRPs it publishes; we have not verified that any saree was previously sold at its MRP. Fabric names in listing titles — silk, linen, chiffon, cotton, georgette, artsilk — are quoted as the retailer prints them and we have not inspected any garment. Neither site returned rating data.
Which shelf to open
If the budget is under Rs. 1,000, open AJIO. It had 20 sarees under Rs. 800 and Nykaa Fashion had two, and the difference is not close enough for a coupon to bridge.
If you are shopping for an occasion piece — a Banarasi, a Kanjivaram, something with sequin or gota work — Nykaa Fashion is where that shelf actually exists. AJIO does list Banarasi and artsilk at Rs. 500 to Rs. 672, but its shelf effectively stops at Rs. 2,600 while Nykaa Fashion's Rs. 1,290 to Rs. 4,636 band is where its designer listings sit.
In both cases read the rupee price and treat the badge with suspicion, with one exception: Nykaa Fashion's 5, 16 and 23 per cent listings are the only ones on either shelf whose MRP looks like it is doing real work. Our AJIO under-Rs. 800 page goes deeper into that shelf, and the Nykaa Fashion saree page covers its catalogue in more detail.
The short version
AJIO's median saree is Rs. 805 and Nykaa Fashion's is Rs. 1,720, with 36 of AJIO's 41 listings sitting below Nykaa Fashion's median. Under Rs. 800 AJIO has 20 listings to Nykaa Fashion's two; above Rs. 2,000 Nykaa Fashion has fourteen to AJIO's one.
The brands do not overlap, so no same-saree comparison is possible. AJIO discounts everything 33 to 84 per cent; Nykaa Fashion's range reaches down to 5 per cent, which is the only place on either shelf where the MRP looks meaningful.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are sarees cheaper on AJIO or Nykaa Fashion?
AJIO, substantially, on the shelves we read on 1 September 2026. Its median saree cost Rs. 805 against Nykaa Fashion's Rs. 1,720, its floor was Rs. 222 against Rs. 504, and 36 of its 41 listings sat below Nykaa Fashion's median price. The two sites share no saree brands, though, so this is a comparison of what each shelf stocks rather than the same saree priced twice.
What is the cheapest saree on AJIO?
On the listings we read on 1 September 2026, Rs. 222 for a Saadhvi women's floral print saree with a contrast border, shown at 84 per cent off a Rs. 1,388 MRP. Below Rs. 700 the shelf also held an Indie Picks silk saree at Rs. 426, a Revangi traditional saree at Rs. 496, an Indie Picks Banarasi silk at Rs. 500 and a Nyrika woven saree with zari border at Rs. 625. Prices change without notice.
Does Nykaa Fashion have cheap sarees?
Only two under Rs. 800 on the day we read it — a Garden VARELI printed saree at Rs. 504 and a Gajra Gang printed saree at Rs. 644. Its shelf is built a tier higher: a Rs. 1,720 median, sixteen listings under Rs. 1,500 and fourteen above Rs. 2,000, reaching Rs. 4,636. For occasion pieces — Banarasi, Kanjivaram, sequined and gota work — that upper band is where the selection is.
Which site has better saree discounts?
AJIO shows the bigger percentages — a 75 per cent median against Nykaa Fashion's 57.5 — but the two are not measuring the same thing. AJIO's badges are near-uniform, from 33 to 84 per cent, so they cannot separate one listing from another. Nykaa Fashion's range runs from 82 per cent down to 5, and the shallow end is the more informative signal: a saree selling at 5 per cent off its MRP is priced closer to that MRP in a way a 75 per cent listing is not.
Do AJIO and Nykaa Fashion show saree ratings?
Neither did, on this read. Across all 83 saree listings from both sites on 1 September 2026, no rating or rating-count value was returned in either retailer's listing data. That means there is no review evidence to weigh on either shelf, and any judgement about fabric or finish has to come from the product page and the return policy rather than from other buyers.
Prices & codes last verified: 1 September 2026
Every price, MRP and discount percentage on this page was read from each retailer's own listing data on 1 September 2026 — AJIO's listing API for the site search "saree" and Nykaa Fashion's listing API for its ethnic-wear category — with no filters applied, no sort order changed and no account signed in, and is reported as published. Neither set is the retailer's full saree catalogue, and a different search, a signed-in session or a different day may return different listings and different prices. Medians, price bands, listing counts and the comparison between the two shelves are our own arithmetic over that data rather than figures either retailer states. The two shelves share no saree brands, so nothing here claims that one retailer undercuts the other on any specific saree; this is a comparison of what each shelf contains and at what price. Discount percentages are each retailer's own, calculated against MRPs it publishes; we have not verified that any saree was previously sold at its stated MRP, so those percentages are reported as published figures and not as savings. Fabric and weave descriptions — silk, linen, chiffon, cotton, georgette, artsilk, Banarasi, Kanjivaram — are quoted from listing titles as the retailers print them and have not been independently verified. Neither retailer returned rating or rating-count values for these listings, so no claim about customer ratings is made in either direction. We have not bought, handled, worn or inspected any saree on this page, so nothing here reports fabric quality, weave, colour accuracy, blouse inclusion, sizing, returns or delivery, and no ranking between the retailers or brands is made or implied beyond the prices shown. Prices exclude coupons, bank offers and any discount applied at checkout, which are priced separately. Both retailers change listings and prices without notice, so this is one day's read; the price at your checkout is the one that applies. Zoutons may earn a commission if you buy through links on this page; it does not change what you pay, and nothing here was reviewed or approved by AJIO, Nykaa Fashion or any brand named.
