LPG shortage fuels induction stove demand: Uncover the cheaper cooking option.

• LPG cylinder supply issues and price hikes (Rs 60 domestic, Rs 115 commercial) are affecting cities like Noida, Lucknow, and Pune.
• Induction stoves, using electricity and magnetic fields, are more energy-efficient than LPG stoves, which lose significant heat.
• An induction stove can save families Rs 180 to Rs 1,000 monthly compared to LPG, with electricity costing Rs 4-8 per unit.
• Studies suggest unsubsidized LPG cooking can be more expensive (Rs 8,000 annually) than electric cooking (Rs 5,800 annually).
• Despite cost benefits, LPG remains preferred due to power outages and suitability for traditional Indian cooking methods like making rotis.
