NEW DELHI: OnePlus has put dates and prices on its own Diwali sale. The company's festive page says the main phone sale starts on 8 October, with further waves on 21 October and 27 October, and lists the OnePlus 15 from Rs 81,999 and the OnePlus 15R from Rs 54,999 once bank offers are counted. Those numbers sit lower than the sticker prices beside them, but the saving is smaller than the page first suggests.
The dates and what is on offer
The OnePlus Diwali 2026 page shows a head start from 25 September, Wave 1 from 8 October, Wave 2 from 21 October and Wave 3 from 27 October. From 8 October it promises bank card savings through instant discounts and no-cost EMI on selected banks, an instant price drop for a limited period, and up to 30 per cent off OnePlus protection plans. Buyers can also add a Diwali Una Collection accessory to any phone purchase for Rs 99.
A RedCoins scheme runs until 9 November. Coupons of Rs 100, Rs 200 and Rs 500 cost 50, 100 and 250 points and apply to selected tablets and earbuds such as the Pad 4 and Buds Pro 3. Each account can redeem a given coupon once.
List price against store price
The page lists each phone with a price and a "starting" figure that includes bank offers. The OnePlus 15 is Rs 89,999, starting at Rs 81,999. The 15R is Rs 61,999, starting at Rs 54,999. The OnePlus 13s is Rs 57,999, starting at Rs 49,999, and the Nord 6 is Rs 52,999, starting at Rs 42,999. The Nord CE6 goes from Rs 40,999 to Rs 33,999 and the N6x from Rs 26,999 to Rs 17,499. The N6 Lite 4G is listed at Rs 24,999, starting at Rs 14,749.
Those first figures read like maximum retail prices. The store pages for the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus 15R showed that on 3 October the 15 already sold at Rs 85,999 for 12GB plus 256GB against a printed price of Rs 89,999, and the 15R at Rs 59,999 against Rs 61,999. Measured against what you can pay today, the headline offers are worth about Rs 4,000 on the 15 and Rs 5,000 on the 15R. That is real money, but it is not the Rs 8,000 and Rs 7,000 that the list comparison implies.
How to read the fine print
"Including bank offers" means the lowest price needs an eligible card. The page does not list the banks or the cap on the discount, so check them at checkout. The store also shows the OnePlus 15R at Rs 64,999 for 12GB plus 512GB and Rs 66,999 for 16GB plus 512GB, so the Rs 54,999 headline is for the base model only.
Compare the day-one price with the rival sales as well. Amazon's Great Indian Festival opens on 8 October and Flipkart's Big Billion Days on 9 October, as we explained in our guide to both events.
Finally, wait for the 8 October prices to appear in your cart before you pay. The page does not say whether Waves 2 and 3 change the prices.
