While IHP is thinking of opening up New Lite is cashing in on the opportunity, shops in Bangalore are pushing New Lite as an alternative and quite honestly the finishing and quality on that seems better.

Same thing is happening in Chennai. New Lite underlever is being promoted. People are carried away by its smooth stock finish. In terms of accuracy, it is zero. I know a guy who bought it for Rs 6500 in Chennai and sold it for 7500 in his hometown.
