No particular reason apart from the fact that that the car is in it's run-in period and the higher octane fuels, I believe, have some additives added to them (apart from the ones required for increasing the octane value) which behave as lubricants and delay the run-in process.
Yes, the pictures are long due, tried once, but didn't come out well since it's dark in the basement where I mostly park.

Agree about the lower FE, although people getting lower than 10 for even manual should definitely consider getting an automatic or a trip to the driving school rather than blame the vehicle.

Please post some pictures of your car. [like rear leg room, boot space]

But the FE of even the manual seems to be low according to -> mishraak [11.8kmpl - 12.6] (Booked Champagne Gold, i10 Kappa Magna)
