Kitchen with Energy: LPG vs Induction Cooking in India: Home & Small Kitchen
Induction cooktops are far more energy‑efficient than LPG, converting ~85–90% of electricity into heat versus 50–68% for gas, so water boils in 5–7 min vs 10–15 min. This efficiency translates into lower operating costs: a typical urban family spends about ₹446 per month on induction versus ₹530 on LPG, a ~16% saving, and overall electric cooking is 10–37% cheaper than LPG even with subsidies.
