HDD! This is 2018.
"Both the devices have been announced for the Indian markets"
That doesn't mean they have to make a spec mistake. You can get a branded SSD for under £30 so cost isn't the issue.
30 pounds is a lot, also the longevity will also suffer. They have to balance the added price versus the percentage of warranty cases versus perceived value in specific markets.
£30 is about the cost of a HDD so there is no extra cost. The SSD should also be more rather than less reliable. If their customers are perceiving an HDD as a plus point then they need to improve their marketing. Finally selling a PC that is nigh on unusable will not help their brand.
But you can't compare "the cost" like that. What about capacity? 30 pounds doesn't buy you a Samsung, or even Intel. It's probably a very cheap brand where every sacrifice has been made to make the price lower. I would never replace an HDD from a reputable manufacturer (there are no newcomers there) in my own computer with an equal-cost SSD from some unknown producer. Dell can only use parts from established brands if they want to avoid the warranty hell and those cost way more.
Speaking of India specifically, I'd wager a guess that a lot of people in the country, especially at home, are used to slow speeds so that's part of the reason. So not exactly a noble altruistic move by Dell but they're after profits.
You can buy Kingston and Western Digital 120GB drives for under £30 including VAT.
