New Delhi/Kolkata, April 16, 2026: In a significant push towards sustainable living and clean energy adoption, SWELECT Energy Systems Limited has launched its innovative Off-Grid Solar Cooking solution on the occasion of Tamil New Year. The breakthrough technology enables households to run standard induction stoves entirely on solar power—eliminating the need for both grid electricity and LPG gas.
The launch comes at a time when rising LPG prices and inconsistent availability continue to strain household budgets, positioning the new solution as a reliable and eco-friendly alternative for everyday cooking.
Revolutionizing Kitchen Energy Use
SWELECT’s latest offering leverages solar photovoltaic (PV) panels to generate and supply power directly to induction cooktops. This allows users to prepare meals using only solar energy, bringing complete energy independence into domestic kitchens.
Unlike traditional cooking methods dependent on fossil fuels or electricity grids, the system ensures uninterrupted cooking even during power outages, making it particularly beneficial for both urban and semi-urban households.

Commenting on the launch, Dr. Arulkumar Shanmugasundaram, Managing Director & CEO, SWELECT Energy Systems Limited, said:

Off-Grid Solar Cooking reflects our commitment to making clean energy practical for everyday life. We are proud to introduce a proprietary solution developed by our engineers with strong IP backing in a short time frame. As we scale up, we invite households across India to experience solar-powered cooking.”
