By budget
Under ₹25,000 is where you can properly cover a large living room with real sensing rather than a colour ring. The Philips 2000i Series AC2939 at around ₹24,990 is our overall pick for Indian homes at any price: 333 m³/h CADR, 851 sq ft claimed coverage, a numeric PM2.5 display and filters you can buy anywhere.
Alongside it, the Honeywell Air Touch i8 at around ₹18,990 is the pick for homes on busy roads thanks to a much thicker carbon bed, and the Blue Star BS-AP300DAI at around ₹19,990 pairs decent coverage with a service organisation built for commercial uptime.
Above this band you are paying for design, sealed-system certification, formaldehyde handling and finer sensing — worthwhile for some buyers, but not where the biggest health gain per rupee is.

Thick carbon bed built for Indian traffic pollution
