An EV typically costs ₹3–5 lakh more than an equivalent petrol car after FAME-II subsidy. With a running cost saving of ~₹5/km, you need approximately 60,000–1,00,000 km to break even — which translates to 4–6 years for someone driving 1,200 km/month.

Delhi petrol price as of April 2026 is approximately ₹94.77/litre and diesel is ₹87.76/litre. Prices vary across states due to state VAT and local levies — Mumbai petrol is around ₹103/litre, Bangalore ₹102/litre.
ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India) certifies mileage under controlled lab conditions. Real-world mileage in Indian city traffic is typically 20–30% lower. This calculator applies a 75% real-world factor by default — so a car rated 20 km/litre is assumed to give 15 km/litre in practice.
At ₹8–10/kWh home charging tariff and an EV efficiency of 6–7 km/kWh, the cost is ₹1.20–1.70/km. A petrol car at 15 km/litre and ₹95/litre costs ₹6.33/km. EVs cost approximately 75–80% less per km to run. The break-even point (higher EV purchase cost vs lower running cost) is typically 4–6 years for Indian conditions.
CNG prices as of April 2026: Delhi ₹77.09/kg, Mumbai ₹66.00/kg, Pune ₹73.00/kg, Ahmedabad ₹74.00/kg. CNG prices are revised monthly by city gas distribution companies. A CNG car typically gives 22–26 km/kg in real conditions.
Monthly fuel cost = (daily driving distance × working days in month) ÷ real-world mileage × current fuel price. For example: 40 km/day × 22 days ÷ 15 km/litre × ₹95 = ₹5,587/month. Add 15–20% for weekend/personal trips to get total monthly spend.
Yes. The advanced mode lets you enter specific public holidays and personal leave days, so the fuel budget excludes those non-commute days. This gives a more accurate estimate compared to a flat 22 working days/month assumption.
Fuel prices are indicative and may vary. Mileage estimates are based on real-world averages and may differ by vehicle, driving style, and city conditions.
