Midea introduces induction hobs to Nepali market amid gas supply concerns
KATHMANDU: Midea has introduced a range of induction hobs to the Nepali market as a practical alternative to cooking gas, the company said.
The hobs use electromagnetic technology to cook food faster while offering greater safety and energy efficiency than traditional gas cooking, Midea said. The appliances feature touch and push‑button controls, large cooking zones, adjustable temperature levels, timer settings, energy‑saving functions, overheating protection and multiple safety systems. The company has also highlighted a low‑noise design and compatibility with a variety of cookware as conveniences for everyday use.
Midea’s product line in Nepal currently includes five models: MC-CLC22W15, MC-VS213R-EMC, RTY2014, SKY1914 and MC-3D3001R212. The models come with varying power capacities and, the company noted, all carry a 24‑month warranty.
Midea products are available in Nepal through CG Electronics, part of the Chaudhary Group, which the company says is one of Nepal’s leading electronics distributors supplying international standard home appliances.
Growing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and recent military confrontations have raised concerns over global energy supplies, prompting Nepali consumers to seek alternatives to cooking gas, industry observers say. Nepal’s complete dependence on imported fuel has made the country vulnerable to disruptions in international oil and gas shipments.
In recent days, longer queues at gas depots and increased purchases at retail outlets have reflected public anxiety about possible shortages and supply instability.
As concerns over fuel supply persist, Midea and local retailers are promoting induction technology as a safe, fast and energy‑efficient option for modern Nepali kitchens.
