As the war in West Asia escalates and LPG price and availability became a matter of discomfort to middle class, many are trying to opt for the Induction cooktops.
Here a simple economic viability and mathematics:
An LPG cylinder costs around 900 to 1,000 rupees. But the gas stoves waste over half the fuel heating the kitchen instead of the food. Gas burners are only about 45% efficient, while induction cooktops are 85% efficient due to fundamental physics.
Gas flames heat the pot, the surrounding air, the countertop, and the user's face, whereas induction technology exclusively heats the pot.
An LPG cylinder provides approximately 295 Mega- Joules of useful cooking heat after accounting for efficiency loss. Achieving the same amount of useful heat with induction requires roughly 96 kilowatt-hours of electricity. To find the breakeven point, divide the cylinder cost by 96 kilowatt-hours (1000 rs รท 96 kw-h) = 10.4 rs per unit electricity.

If electricity costs less than 10 rupees per unit, induction cooking is more economical than LPG, especially since many Indian cities have residential tariffs between 5 to 8 rupees per unit for lower consumption slabs.
If you consume over 300 units of electricity and pay a higher tariff, you can afford an induction stove as a backup.
Even with the added cost of new induction-friendly cookware, induction cooking breaks even with LPG in six to eight months, making it a superior option in all scenarios.
Recommending induction to lower to middle-income individuals is not elitist; it's the opposite in practical terms.
No one is suggesting switching entirely; using both induction and LPG saves money due to thermodynamic efficiency and is better for long-term sustainability as electricity can come from renewable sources.
