Online UPS Price in India (2026): 1kVA to 10kVA
Indicative 1kVA–10kVA online UPS prices, what moves them, and the real running cost — grounded in our live catalogue.
Quick answer
Single-phase online UPS in India runs roughly ₹16,000–22,000 for 1 kVA, ₹28,000–35,000 for 2 kVA, ₹32,000–43,000 for 3 kVA, ₹62,000–78,000 for 5–5.5 kVA, around ₹98,000 for 7.5 kVA, and ₹89,000–1,15,000 for 10 kVA — before any external battery bank. Capacity, phase, built-in batteries and lithium vs VRLA all move the figure.

| 2 kVA (1,600 W) | ₹28,000–35,000 | 72V | Small rack or a billing/POS cluster |
| 3 kVA (2,400 W) | ₹32,000–43,000 | 72V | Busy rack or a clinic counter |
| 5–5.5 kVA (4,000–4,400 W) | ₹62,000–78,000 | 192V | Small server room |

Indicative single-phase online UPS prices (before external battery bank)
Reading the price
- Figures are for the UPS only — an external battery bank for real runtime is extra.
- Most units are 0.8 PF (1 kVA = 800 W); compare on watts, not just the kVA label.
- Lithium (MAX LiFe) models cost more up front but are compact and long-cycle.
- Microtek ranges by size: E² (1 kVA), MAX+ (1–10 kVA), iMAXX (5.5–10 kVA), MAX LiFe (3–5 kVA lithium).
- Internal-battery (-IB) models are self-contained for short runtime; others expect an external bank.
What actually moves the price
- Capacity (kW): the biggest driver — a 10 kVA carries ten times the load of a 1 kVA.
- Phase: single-phase (covered here) is cheaper than three-phase for the same headline kVA.
- Batteries built in or not: internal-battery models cost more than the bare UPS but save you wiring a bank.
- Battery chemistry: a lithium (LiFePO4) MAX LiFe costs more up front than sealed VRLA but lasts more cycles and is lighter.
- Brand, warranty and after-sales: genuine stock with on-site service is worth more than a grey-market box.
Do not forget the battery bank
The UPS price buys you the unit and a few minutes of internal ride-through. If you want it to actually carry the load through a cut, budget separately for an external VRLA battery bank sized to your target runtime — that can be a meaningful share of the total on larger units. The longer the runtime and the bigger the load, the bigger (and pricier) the bank.
Running cost
Because an online UPS double-converts continuously, it draws a little power around the clock; efficiency is typically in the high 80s to around 90 percent, so a small overhead over your load is normal. That is the price of zero-gap, fully clean power, and it is modest next to the cost of a single server crash or lost CCTV footage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a 1kVA online UPS cost in India?
Indicatively about ₹16,000–22,000 for a single-phase 1 kVA (800 W) online UPS, depending on series and whether batteries are built in. An external battery bank for longer runtime is extra. Check the live category for the current price.
Why is an online UPS more expensive than an inverter?
It does more: it double-converts power continuously for zero-gap, fully clean output, which needs more capable electronics than a home inverter or a line-interactive UPS. You pay for protection that servers, CCTV and medical gear genuinely need.
Is the battery included in the online UPS price?
Internal-battery (-IB) models include batteries for a few minutes of ride-through. For real runtime you add an external VRLA battery bank, priced separately and sized to your target hours and load.
