How long do Lava phones get updates?

Clean near-stock Android with ~1-2 OS upgrades + ~2 years of security on most models; the Agni 3 flagship has an official 3 OS + 4 years ("Agni Shapat")Our estimate

Lava is an Indian domestic brand that markets bloat-free, ad-free, near-stock Android and strong value for money, mostly in entry to mid-range tiers. Historically its update support was short (around two years), but with the Agni 3 it introduced a formal "Agni Shapat" pledge of three OS upgrades and four years of security updates. Its phones are sold almost exclusively in India.
