Help me navigate a salary negotiation situation

I’m ML Engineer with 3 YOE (20LPA Base) currently based in Bangalore, and interviewing for a startup in Mumbai for Senior MLE role. During my initial conversation with HR, I told that my expectation would be 25LPA (I think I lowballed myself) and HR told that the budget is at max 25, so if I would be willing to negotiate. Honestly, at that time my only motivation was to get out of my current organisation. Now I feel that I should have asked for more, and after 3 rounds of interview, and evaluating the living expenses in Mumbai compared to BLR, I feel I should have asked for more. I’m going on friday to their office for final interview with leadership, and offer most likely would be made straight after that. How do I get the best compensation possible in this situation?

P.S. In another grapevine post, someone mentioned that a PM working there is making 20LPA with 2YOE, and suggested I should be asking for more.
