New Delhi, April 2026: In a major push towards clean and sustainable cooking, Indian Oil Corporation (IndianOil) has introduced Surya Nutan, an innovative indoor solar cooking system that lets households prepare food using the power of the sun. This patented technology promises to reduce dependence on LPG cylinders and electricity for daily cooking, offering a hybrid solution that works even on cloudy days or at night.
Developed entirely at IndianOil’s R&D Centre in Faridabad, Surya Nutan is a stationary, rechargeable, and always kitchen-connected solar cooktop. Unlike traditional outdoor solar cookers, this system stays inside your kitchen while a solar panel installed on the rooftop captures sunlight. The energy is converted into heat through a specialized heating element, stored in a thermal battery, and then used for cooking – all without the need for frequent battery replacements.
 
 
Key Features of Surya Nutan
Field testing of over 50 single-burner units across multiple Indian cities confirmed its reliability for everyday household needs.
Pricing and Booking
Surya Nutan comes in variants priced roughly between ₹12,000 (base model) and ₹23,000 (premium double-burner model) suitable for a family of four. Exact pricing and availability may vary; interested users can check the official IndianOil website or contact their nearest Indane LPG distributor, as the company plans to reach customers primarily through its existing LPG network. No government subsidy has been announced yet, but the system offers a payback period of 1-2 years for households using 6-8 LPG cylinders annually through savings on fuel.

Why It Matters Now
With recent reports of LPG supply pressures in some regions (like auto LPG shortages in Bengaluru due to global factors), alternatives like Surya Nutan could help households manage energy costs better while supporting India’s clean energy goals. It aligns with broader efforts to reduce oil imports and promote renewable solutions in kitchens.
This indigenous innovation, inspired by national clean cooking missions, brings the sun directly into your kitchen – safely, efficiently, and sustainably.
