How benchmarksutra rates induction cooktops: maker-stated specs and Indian prices only, nothing guessed.
Quick Verdict
The benchmarksutra Induction Score rates 6 induction cooktops sold in India. Every spec comes from the maker's own product page, and every price from an Indian retailer's listing. We never use test results from other sites, and we never fill a gap with a guess.
Researched, not hands-on tested. Scores use only the specifications on each maker's own product page (checked 15 November 2026) and prices at Indian retailers (checked 15 November 2026). We did not test these induction cooktops ourselves. How the benchmarksutra Induction Score works.
What we rate
Rated power. Rated power the maker states: 1,200 W rates 0, 2,200 W rates 100. More power heats faster but draws more current.
Preset menus. Preset cooking menus the maker counts: 8 or more rates 100. A page that mentions presets without a count scores zero here.
Surge protection. Surge protection the maker states (for example 4 kV), which matters where the supply is unsteady.
Automatic voltage regulator. Automatic voltage regulator, where the maker names one.
Timer. A cooking timer, where the maker names one.
Price. Lowest price we found, against the cheapest cooktop in the list.
Buyer profiles
What we checked
We read each maker's own product page for rated power, the number of preset menus, surge protection, an automatic voltage regulator and a timer. Retail listings are used only for the price. Where a maker page does not state a rated item, that row scores zero; we never guess. BIS certification is shown where the maker states it, but not scored, because we cannot confirm a licence number from the page.
What we do not rate
Heating evenness, noise and real power draw need lab tests. We do not run them and we do not use other sites' results. Pigeon models are left out this round because we could not find their exact product pages.
Price vs score
What the score does not measure
Heating evenness and real power draw.
Fan noise.
Cookware compatibility beyond what the maker states.
What we left out, and why
