2. Maxxx Rs. 524 shipped. Free wick, flux etc.

3. Koochu. Rs.240 shipped. Very fine tip (according to pics displayed there)

Koocu High Quality Replaceable Pencil Pointed TIP 30W Soldering Iron Extra BIT | eBay

4. Max 550 : Rs. 454 shipped ISO certified company

You can always go window shopping and compare the prices. Would be better if you got the same thing at same price locally.

Do anyone purchased digital display soldering iron?
I need good adjustable soldering iron, I have 25 watt which is waste.
I decided to purchase this one with Box easy to carry and store.
Techtest Screw Driver Set with Soldering Iron Kit Black & Yellow - 40 Pieces
*www.amazon.in/dp/B07Z3BF318/

This have all the basic things I need.
Or should I purchase soldering iron seperately.

Any guide, video, link would be great.
And digital soldering iron, programmable, usb c etc etc

Any tip will be good. Pointed bit would do better job.
25watt Soldering iron more than enough.
Or buy 30 or 35 watt, 50watt would be overkill. I have Soldron's 50watt iron.
Be careful while directly Soldering SMD. Try first and then use.
