The Stanley everyone means is the Quencher — a roughly 40 oz, about 1.2 litre insulated tumbler with a handle, a straw and a tapered base that fits a car cup holder. Duping it is a format question, and that exact format exists in India: the HYV HydroMax at ₹1,699 has the 1.2 litre body, the straw and the handle; the HydroPro at ₹1,499 has the straw without it; the HydroFlow at ₹1,299 is the same body with a turn-and-sip lid instead.

Four features make a Quencher a Quencher, and only four: the capacity, the handle, the straw, and a base narrow enough for a cup holder. Everything else about it — the steel, the vacuum wall, the powder finish — is what the whole category does.
So the useful test for a dupe is not "does it look like one". It is whether all four are present. A 1.2 litre tumbler with a straw and no handle is a different object in the hand, because at that capacity the full weight is over a kilogram and the handle is load-bearing rather than decorative.
What you give up, honestly
Two things, and neither is temperature. The first is the powder coat: Stanley's finish is unusually resistant to the chipping that a tumbler picks up from being set down on tile and thrown into a car boot. The second is resale and recognition, which sound trivial until you have watched how the object is actually used — it is carried visibly, and for some buyers that is the function.
What you do not give up is retention. A 1.2 litre tumbler with a straw lid is the hardest format in the category to insulate, because a straw hole is a permanent opening, and every brand's number for it is lower than the same brand's bottle number. HYV rates the 1.2 litre tumblers at 12 hours cold and 8 hot, against 24 and 12 for the sealed bottles — the straw is why, and no brand escapes it.
If you want the cup and not the straw
The HydroFlow is the same 1.2 litre body with a turn-and-sip lid, which closes properly and costs less. It is the better buy if the tumbler mostly sits on a desk, because the straw's only real advantage is drinking without lifting a kilogram.
And if the appeal of the Quencher was the size rather than the format, a 1 litre bottle with a chug cap holds nearly as much, seals completely, and fits more bags. HYV LuxeFlow at ₹1,699 is that bottle.
Disclosure: we are one of the brands
HYV publishes this guide and HYV sells insulated drinkware, so read the ranking with that in mind. What we can do is be specific about where we are not the answer: we do not make copper, glass or plastic bottles, and nothing in the retail range starts below ₹799. Where a competitor fits your use better, the sections above say so.

What is the best Stanley dupe in India?
A 1.2 litre insulated tumbler with a straw and a handle. The HYV HydroMax at ₹1,699 matches the format; the HydroPro at ₹1,499 drops the handle.
What size is a Stanley Quencher?
The one people mean is around 40 oz, which is about 1.2 litres.
Do straw tumblers hold temperature as long as bottles?
No. A straw opening is permanent, so every brand rates a straw tumbler below its own sealed bottles. HYV rates its 1.2 litre tumblers at 12 hours cold and 8 hot.
Will a dupe fit my car cup holder?
Check the base, not the capacity. Cup holders are roughly 74 mm and a wide-based tumbler will not sit in one.
