How old they are?
If not well versed with latest technology, better give them SAMSUNG with knox security and yes be careful about handset weight, most probably light weight, 180 gram or below preferable.
Lava Agni 3 as per YouTube review is very good but 215 gram weight, I doubt aged parents can handle that much weight even with 2 hands as maximum old age person have shaky hand, low grip health issue.

In my experience, getting a higher tier phone pre-owned (if they don't have a stigma against it) works well for parents. You're likely to get better durability in case they mishandle it, more longevity thanks to better hardware, and decent service support. The service in particular can save you headaches if they rely on you to get it fixed when there are issues. 
The Samsung A34/54 usually come within your price range pre-owned, as do some of the Moto models from the last couple of years.

These are some nice suggestions @Emperor and @ishashank. I will now consider weight also as a factor.
@SirMatterNot Our past experience with pre-owned products was not that good, so I will prefer getting a new one.

Don't just see the specs but also see their reviews like moto has screen issues and poco has motherboard issues.
Month back I bought cmf nothing 1 for my father, it is perfect zero bloatware simple straight forward.

Previous phone is Samsung F64. Personally I never liked that phone, suggested them to stay away from Samsung

Samsung phones with TSMC fab made chips are good, but sadly you get even Snapdragon chips made by Samsung, so those kind of behave like Exynos.

I bought the redmi 12 5G for my gramps about 6 months ago. It costed me around 12k ish for the 6 gb ram and 128 gigs storage variant I think? It's a decent phone, however, its hard to use it when out in the sun cuz it's brightness isn't that great tbh...
