Puncture you say.. been on a road trip of 550 kms! 8 punctures on mrf revz c old series. Air pressure was 33 back and 28 front nitrogen. But same as on metzeler. None punctures

That's pretty abysmal performance. I have been riding revz for more than 30k in old and new set of tyres. Have seen hardly 3-4 punctures till date. And none during road trips.

Does the contigo come in 150/60 size ? IIRC they only come in 140/70 (i.e. cbr/ninja size). And you can safely use a 140/70 on the duke, no issues.

some folks who use contigo on the cbr (it is also the stock tire on the cbr250s) say that it's not very grippy. i haven't ridden on this tire extensively, but can say that it is a hard compound and might not be particularly very good in the wet. the contigo and michelins take longer time to warm up before they start providing optimum grip.

On the other hand the mrf revz c or c1(new model) that comes stock on the duke is an excellent tire, soft, grippy and costs less (Rs.3800 approx). The only drawback of the mrf is that it is prone to punctures and small surface cuts/knicks due to it's soft compound/construction. I have personally shifted to the michelin and it is a slightly harder compound and provides a slightly better ride quality and almost puncture proof(just one puncture recently after 14k km) whereas the mrf already had 4 punctures in 14k km and the last puncture was so huge that i had to discard the tire. The michelin though costs around Rs.5500, and would be a good option for tourers(never had single issue with the tire/punctures on the numerous long rides, whereas the mrf caused me some pain due to a couple of punctures)
My next tire change will be back to the mrf revz c1.

Has anyone tried to fit any fog lights/ projector lamps to be precise?

I haven't I have just fitted led bulbs to replace stock halogen. If I you really need fog lamps I suggest you get it fitted from a reputed mechanic cause duke is really a pain in the ass when it comes to wiring. One wrong wiring and you could end up affecting other components.

I hav the mechanic who is reputed in pune and he is manager at ktm svc. But the point is i need some serious lighting for my duke for leh ladakh. I was going for u7 cree but wasnt sure for the cheap qualities in india. Now thinking of retro fitting rc200 projectors to my duke

You are right don't go for cheap knock offs. Go for cree leds get them from AliExpress. Retro fitting rc projectors would be one hell of challenge

Contigos as you said comes only in 140/70

Today a dealer showed me metro continental bazooka. I'm just tired of revz leaking air about 8 pounds a week. Checked the neck and Caleb everything seems fine. Currently don't have the budget to get michelins. So thinking of bazooka as a viable option. Should I go head and take a risk.

Give them a try , the bazookas. Otherwise a safe bet would be the conti go or the ceat (zoom xl) in the 140 section.. cheaper and last longer and better puncture resistant.. though grip will not be as good as the mrf revz.
How much does the metro bazooka cost?

For bazooka the dealer said 3,500/-

I got a new Duke 200 yesterday. Very satisfied except one issue. The bike stalls while shifting from high to low gears. Especially in traffic. It has been only 50kms and it's a bit annoying. Any suggestions??

Which was your previous bike?
