Thermodynamic & Efficiency Methodology Disclosure:
  • Induction power consumption is calculated from operating wattage and cooking duration. Modulation levels (simmering vs boiling) affect actual average power draw.
  • LPG comparison normalizes for Useful Heat Delivered to food pans based on PCRA efficiency benchmarks (85% Induction vs 50% LPG stove efficiency).
  • Calculated energy and LPG figures represent estimates based on entered cooking habits, cylinder prices, and state utility tariff engines.

How Induction Power & LPG Cost Comparison is Calculated

Induction cooking efficiency is evaluated based on useful heat delivered to food. While gas flames lose ~50% of heat into room air, induction cooktops deliver ~85% of energy directly into cookware via magnetic induction.

Daily Electricity kWh = (Operating Power W × Daily Cooking Minutes) ÷ 60,000
Useful Heat Delivered (kWh) = Monthly Electricity kWh × 85% Induction Efficiency
Equivalent LPG Fuel Required (kg) = (Useful Heat ÷ 50% LPG Efficiency) ÷ 13.84 kWh/kg
Example: 1,400W induction running 60 mins/day = 42 Units/month (₹315 @ ₹7.50/unit) vs 0.363 LPG Cylinder (₹309 @ ₹850/cylinder)
