Best Double Induction Cooktop Nepal 2026
The CG CGDIC20G02 at रु. 11,600 to रु. 12,400 is the best double-burner induction cooktop available in Nepal as of March 2026 — it delivers 3500W combined power across two independent burner zones with CG’s domestic warranty processing. Double-burner induction stoves are a separate product category from single-burner models — they serve Nepal families of 4+ members who cook dal and tarkari simultaneously as their primary cooking method, not buyers who simply want a more expensive single stove.

CG CGDIC20G02 — Our #1 Double Burner Pick (रु. 11,600 – रु. 12,400)
The CG CGDIC20G02 earns our top recommendation for three reasons: (1) CG’s domestic service center network processes warranty claims locally in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Biratnagar, Bharatpur, and Butwal — critical for a high-investment appliance, (2) each of the CG CGDIC20G02’s two zones operates independently with separate temperature and timer controls, and (3) it is the most widely available double-burner model on Daraz Nepal with consistent stock.
Full specifications:
- Total power: 3500W (combined across 2 zones)
- Zone controls: Independent — simmer dal at 600W on one side, full-power 2000W tarkari frying on the other
- Controls: Touch panel with separate digital displays per zone
- Safety: Auto-pan detection per zone, overheat protection
- Size: Approximately 60cm × 35cm — verify counter space before purchasing
- Timer: Independent timers per zone
- Warranty: 1 year — CG domestic service centers
Daily cooking advantage: A family of 5 cooking dal-bhat-tarkari simultaneously saves approximately 30 to 45 minutes per meal compared to sequential cooking on a single burner. Over one month (90 meals), that is 45 to 67 hours of saved kitchen time.

Electrical Requirements — Check Before Purchasing
The CG CGDIC20G02 draws approximately 15 amps at 230V when both zones run at full power. Most Nepal households have 5-amp meters that cannot support a double-burner induction stove.
| Meter Type | Supports Double Burner? | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| 5-amp meter | ❌ No — will trip breaker | Upgrade to 15-amp or 30-amp via NEA |
| 15-amp meter | ✅ Yes — adequate | No action needed |
| 30-amp meter | ✅ Yes — with room for other appliances | No action needed |
How to check your meter: Your meter capacity is printed on the meter face or listed on your NEA agreement. Contact your local NEA office for a meter upgrade — the process takes 1 to 2 weeks and costs approximately रु. 2,000 to рु. 5,000 depending on the upgrade level.
Important: Even with an adequate meter, avoid running the CG CGDIC20G02 at full power simultaneously with a geyser (2000W) or microwave (1000W). Stagger high-draw appliance usage.
Two Singles vs One Double — Which Approach Is Better for Nepal?
Many Nepal families face this decision: buy one double-burner CG CGDIC20G02 at ру. 11,600+ or buy two separate single-burner stoves.
| Factor | One CG Double Burner | Two Single Burners |
|---|---|---|
| Total cost | ру. 11,600 – ру. 12,400 | ру. 8,000 – ру. 10,000 (two mid-range) |
| Counter space | One 60cm unit | Two separate 30cm units — flexible placement |
| Electrical load | 3500W on one circuit (needs 15A) | Split across two circuits (each 2000W) |
| If one zone fails | Entire unit needs service | One stove still works |
| Cooking flexibility | Fixed position | Can use in different rooms |
| Portability | Heavy, not portable | Each unit portable |
Our recommendation: If your kitchen has a single dedicated cooking counter and a 15-amp+ meter, the CG CGDIC20G02 is the cleaner solution. If your kitchen has limited counter space or only a 5-amp meter, two separate CG CGIC20D02 units (ру. 4,600 each = ру. 9,200 total) provide better flexibility at a lower total cost and no meter upgrade requirement.
Induction + Infrared Combo Cooktops
Combo cooktops with one induction zone and one infrared zone cost ру. 8,900 to ру. 12,000 in Nepal. The combo approach allows using magnetic cookware on the induction zone and aluminum/copper cookware on the infrared zone — solving the cookware compatibility problem without requiring a full cookware replacement.
Combo models available: Yasuda and Baltra offer dual-zone combo models. Check Daraz Nepal for current availability as combo model stock varies.
Limitation: The infrared zone heats slower and uses more electricity than both induction zones on a full double-burner induction stove. The glass surface on the infrared side also gets dangerously hot — the safety advantage of induction’s cool surface applies only to the induction zone.
Frequently Asked Questions — Double Burner Nepal
Is the CG double burner worth the price over two singles?
The CG CGDIC20G02 at ру. 11,600+ costs approximately रу. 2,000 to ру. 3,000 more than two separate mid-range single-burner stoves. The double burner is worth the premium only if you have a 15-amp+ meter and prefer a single integrated unit on one counter. If your meter is 5-amp, buy two singles instead — no meter upgrade required and better redundancy if one fails.
Can I cook on just one zone of a double burner?
The CG CGDIC20G02 allows independent zone operation — you can use one zone while the other is off. Power draw is approximately 2000W when using one zone, identical to a single-burner stove. No wasted electricity on the unused zone.
What cookware do I need for a double burner?
The same flat-bottom magnetic cookware required for any induction stove. Budget ру. 3,000 to ру. 6,000 for two complete sets — one for each zone. See our induction cookware guide for Nepal-specific options.
