People Turn to Alternative Cooking Methods

Amid the ongoing shortage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders, many households are increasingly turning to electric cooking options such as induction stoves. Consumers across parts of tamil Nadu have started purchasing electric and induction cooktops as an alternative to traditional gas stoves.

Induction Stove Sales Triple in a Few Days

According to appliance retailers, the sales of induction stoves have increased sharply over the past few days. Shop owners reported that in the last four to five days alone, the demand for induction cooktops has risen nearly threefold compared to normal sales.

Retailers say customers are actively enquiring about electric stoves, especially portable induction models that can be used immediately without the need for gas cylinders.

Shortage of LPG Cylinders Drives Demand

The sudden spike in demand is largely linked to the shortage of LPG cylinders being reported in several areas. Many consumers are experiencing delays in receiving booked cylinders, forcing families to look for temporary cooking alternatives.

As a result, induction stoves have become a convenient option since they operate using electricity and can be used with compatible cookware.

Retailers Witness Unusual Rush

Home appliance stores have witnessed an unusual rush of customers purchasing induction stoves and electric cooktops. Some retailers have even reported limited stock due to the sudden increase in demand.

Customers are mainly opting for induction stoves as a backup cooking solution until the LPG supply returns to normal.

Temporary Shift in Cooking Habits

Experts say the current situation reflects how households quickly adapt during supply disruptions. While LPG remains the primary cooking fuel for most families, the present shortage has encouraged people to explore alternative cooking technologies such as induction and electric stoves.

Retailers expect the demand for such appliances to remain high until the LPG supply situation stabilizes. 🔌🍳
