Well,

I took almost 30 different pellets to a gold shop. Weighing them out one by one. Took average and converted them to gram to grain.

Guys, it is not NITRO EXPRESS but "Nursing Endeavour". I think they are manufactured in Kolkata. Looks like the are quite serious about making pellets.

Rs. 60~80 varies from shop to shop. Much better finishing compare to other indian pellets except G.SMITH. Gsmith's weight varies pellets to pellets. NE is quite decent in that sense.

The skirt width is pretty consistent except one point (Perhaps they swag and then cut)

g-smiths p-10 seem decent again. They fit my match pistol pretty well as far as Indian ones go and my groups are better than when I used 'Tremendous' brand pellets.

The Nitro Express series of cartridges are used in large-bore hunting rifles, also known as elephant guns or express rifles. They are named after the propellant they use, cordite, which is composed of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine. The Nitro line is a straight-sided brass cartridge, and fire large diameter bullets.

Tremendous are manufactured at Moradabad by an ambitious chap who claims to have wiped the tears outa the Indian shooters eyes with his cheaper desi pellets. I have a couple of boxes left at Rs. 100 if you want but I think P 10's are way ahead of them . They shoot pretty neat holes from my baikal46 m (the m is supposedly for magnum hee hee). Anyway my pistol is supposed to do about 470/480 fps but I don't know. Maybe p-10's perform better in faster shooting stuff.
