Now you can cook food without gas cylinder, Indian Oil introduced new Surya Nutan Solar Stove Scheme

Indian Oil’s New Surya Nutan Solar Stove Scheme

To tackle the rising costs of cooking gas, Indian Oil has introduced the Surya Nutan solar stove, targeting rural and low-income households struggling with gas cylinder expenses. This innovative solar cooking solution aims to make cooking more accessible and affordable for all families in India.

How Does the Solar Stove Work?

The Surya Nutan solar stove, developed at Indian Oil’s R&D center in Faridabad, utilizes solar energy for cooking, thus eliminating dependence on traditional fuels like LPG or wood. It operates on electricity generated by rooftop solar panels, allowing users to cook without incurring additional costs.

This dual-unit system consists of a solar stove installed in the kitchen and a solar panel on the roof. A standout feature is its hybrid mode, which enables it to function on both solar and conventional electricity, ensuring reliability even on cloudy days. Designed to last around ten years, this stove promises significant savings on gas expenses.

Cost of the Solar Stove

The price of the Surya Nutan solar stove ranges from ₹12,000 to ₹30,000, with potential government subsidies to assist low-income families. Ideal for a family of four, this stove can replace a monthly gas cylinder, leading to considerable long-term savings.
