What is the best and cheapest electric generator which can produce 20 KVA
The competition in genset industry in India is so intense that the initial diesel generator prices are more or less same for all of them. I know this because my friend recently bought a genset and I helped him research it. More pertinent question, I believe, is the operational cost, which one could be divided in two parts – fuel cost and service cost. My friend bought an Eicher Engines genset from TMTL. We had seen that there was a difference of at least 0.1 l/hr with any competition. This number seems small but considering a price of Rs. 70/l for diesel and 25,000 hour average lives, it can translate to almost Rs.2 lakh. Also since their engine is air cooled, it is relatively maintenance free and with longest service period interval, it was no brainer for us to buy it. I must say that their after sales service is also pretty solid. At one time, when there was a wedding in my friend’s house and the generator had some issues, the TMTL service people came to the house at 2 am to fix it.
