India's LPG restrictions spark appliance boom. Government curbs on liquefied petroleum gas cylinders and price hikes are forcing households and restaurants to shift toward electric cooking alternatives, creating unprecedented demand for induction cooktops. Major manufacturers including Stovekraft, Wonderchef, and Hawkins report sales surging four to thirty times normal levels. Online platforms show induction cooktop sales jumping thirty-fold in recent days. However, supply chain constraints threaten to limit growth as manufacturers struggle to secure imported components needed for production. The sustainability of this demand spike remains uncertain as companies balance rapid expansion against inventory challenges and component shortages in global markets.
