timeoutlen in vim is getting set to 500 automatically

I've put following line in my .vimrc file :

set timeout 
set timeoutlen=2000 
set ttimeoutlen=100

Yet output of :set timeoutlen? is 500. What could be the cause of this? Is it possible that one of the plugins I've installed is resetting the value? I've installed nerdtree, nerdtree-tabs, nerdcommentor and supertab plugins.

You can check whether plugins interfere with your setting by doing

verbose set timeoutlen?

. It should tell you something like

timeoutlen=500
    Last set from ~/.vimrc

. If it tells you exactly the same information (i.e. that it was set in the vimrc), check vimrc for setting timeoutlen and tm (latter is a short name of timeoutlen). It may also be set in a modeline (line at the start or end of the file, applicable only if you open one), in this case vim will say “Last set from modeline”.
