Could explain why people are comparing gigabyte aorus 850w with seasonic focus plus 850 in the toms hardware forums? Coz aorus is 10k here and focus 850 is 35k.

Gigabyte is actually expensive there.

Really good PSU with high quality components.

The ADP-400DR is built like a tank. I overloaded it with up to 584 W, loaded it until its temperature on the secondary side exceeded 100°C, and short-circuited its rail. Whatever I did, it continued to work properly and didn't die on me.

Now if only we can get even half as good as this psu at reasonable price in India. Btw any changes in budget psu category or after corsair CX 2017 series demise only option left is colermaster MWE.

Antec Neo Eco series seems to be the only good option after Corsair CX.

According to linustectips psu tier list Neo Eco Classic NE-C (X50W/X20W) / Modular NE-M / NE-M v2 - NX falls in tier-D while Neo Eco II falls in tier-C. Cooler Master | MWE V2 White [MPE] Full-range Input / V2 Bronze [MPE] Full-range Input though falls in tier-B low priority.

Also I am confused so can you confirm if these psu fall in tier-B of the list(neo eco gold has 3 entries two in tier-B & other in tier-C low priority):

They probably placed it low because of lack of reviews. Honestly the tier list is completely useless for budget PSUs. That's why other better tier list like the tomshardware one got shutdown.

Can we just say nowadays that a psu with 3 years warranty is alright for i5/ryzen 5+1650 super/similar card setup & 5 or more years warranty psu for higher setups with gigabyte being an exception that need to be avoided?

Depends. I would just avoid entire Gigabyte lineup since they have spotty OEMs for most of their PSUs. Corsair and Antec are the only ones with competitive pricing in India. CM is third choice.

Is corsair's new CV series with 3 years warranty worth considering for mid range PCs with 1650 super/similar cards setup?

It's ok till GTX 1650 i guess. GTX 1650 Super might be pushing it.
How about this one, linustechtips psu tier list has it in low priority tier-B with a note which says "Cooler Master MWE V2 White and Bronze units have high ripple issues on very low load also resulting in increased coil whine, fix pending."

See they have put it in Tier B purely because it's DC-DC instead of being group regulated. And they are basically praising it because they are getting a DC-DC unit for such a low price. The performance/price ratio is great. But group regulation hasn't been proven to be a problem for any of the new CPUs in real world scenario. The Antec Neo Eco is group regulated but it has way better quality components than the MWE. e.g. MWE v2 still has 85C rated caps, while Antec has 105C rated caps. While DC-DC is good, MWE v2 has cut corners elsewhere such as longevity which cannot be measured in lab tests.

You are talking about this model, right?
