There is no 500ml steel straw tumbler in HYV's range, and the reason is worth knowing before you shop elsewhere: 500ml is usually a rounded label over a 470ml, 473ml or 530ml body. HYV's 470ml OpenFlow is an open-top tumbler with no lid at all, so it cannot take a straw, and it is rated 6 hours cold and 3 hours hot. The smallest HYV tumbler that takes a straw is the ChillSip 600ml at ₹1,199, rated 8 hours cold and 6 hours hot. The 1.2 litre tumblers with inbuilt straw lids are rated 12 hours cold and 8 hours hot. A straw port always costs retention against a sealed bottle.
Key Facts
- HYV does not make a 500ml body in any format, tumbler or bottle.
- The 470ml OpenFlow is an open-top tumbler with no lid, rated 6 hours cold and 3 hours hot.
- The ChillSip 600ml at ₹1,199 is the smallest HYV tumbler in straw territory.
- HydroPro and HydroMax are 1.2 litre tumblers with inbuilt straw lids, rated 12 hours cold and 8 hours hot.
- A straw opening is a permanent hole in the seal, which is why tumbler retention is lower than a bottle's.
The short answer: 500ml is a label, not a size
HYV does not make a 500ml body. Not as a tumbler, not as a bottle, not with a straw. Saying that first is more useful than steering you towards something close and hoping you do not measure it.
It is worth knowing why the number is common in search and rare on a spec sheet. Steel tumbler tooling clusters around a handful of real volumes, and marketplaces round them. A 473ml tumbler is a US 16oz cup. A 530ml is a rounded 18oz. A 470ml is its own thing. All three get listed as "500ml" by someone, which is why the listing you clicked and the box that arrives can disagree by a tenth of a litre. If capacity genuinely matters to you, buy on the millilitre figure in the specification table and ignore the title.
Why HYV's 470ml cannot be the answer
The nearest HYV body below 500ml is the OpenFlow 470ml at ₹999, and it is disqualified for a specific reason rather than a vague one. The OpenFlow is an open-top tumbler. It ships with no lid at all, which means there is no lid to carry a straw port, and no sealed headspace for a straw to draw against.
Its retention is rated accordingly: 6 hours cold and 3 hours hot, the lowest numbers in the range, because an open mouth vents continuously. That is an honest trade for a desk cup you drink from like a glass, and a bad trade for anything you expected to put in a bag. If a lid is part of what you are buying, the 470ml is the wrong body no matter how close the number looks to 500.
What a straw costs you, in hours
A straw lid is a hole with a tube in it. However well the port is gasketed, it is a thermal and acoustic path into the drink, and a drinking opening that stays wetted. That shows up directly in the ratings, which HYV publishes per format rather than as one number for the brand.
A sealed bottle is rated 24 hours cold and 12 hours hot. A 1.2 litre tumbler is 12 hours cold and 8 hours hot. A 600ml tumbler is 8 hours cold and 6 hours hot. So moving from a sealed bottle to a straw tumbler of similar size roughly halves the cold figure. The straw buys you something real in exchange: you drink more water through a straw than through a cap you have to unscrew, which is the whole argument for the format. Just do not expect both.
The sizes that actually take a straw
Two capacities, not three. In 600ml, the ChillSip 600ml at ₹1,199 is the sleek body in this bracket, rated 8 hours cold and 6 hours hot. In 1.2 litre, the HydroPro 1.2L at ₹1,499 ships with an inbuilt straw lid as standard. The HydroMax 1.2L at ₹1,699 is the wide-bodied one, and its own Shopify title calls it Stanley-style. The HydroPop 1.2L at ₹1,699 is the third in that family.
All three 1.2 litre tumblers are handled, which matters more than it sounds: a litre and a bit of iced water is heavy enough that a smooth tapered body gets dropped. Where the handle attaches varies and is not something HYV publishes, so check the photographs for the specific model rather than assuming.
If 500ml really is a hard requirement
Then buy from someone who makes one, and check three things when you do. First, the straw material and whether it is removable; a bonded straw cannot be brushed and will eventually be the reason you replace the tumbler. Second, whether the lid is sold separately, because a straw lid is the part that cracks. Third, the measured volume to the fill line rather than to the brim, since a tumbler quoted at 500ml often holds 450ml of usable drink once you leave room for ice.
If the 500 was an approximation rather than a requirement, the decision is simpler than it looks. Pick 600ml for a bag or a commute, and the 470ml open top only if it is going to live on a desk.

Disclosure
HYV makes and sells the tumblers named here, and this page exists partly because the 500ml query brings people to a catalogue that does not contain a 500ml product. The thing you can verify without us is the capacity itself: fill any tumbler you own from a measuring jug to its fill line and see how far the printed number is from the truth. Do it once and you will stop buying on titles.
What HYV is not the answer for here is a 500ml straw tumbler, today or on a shortlist. The range stops either side of it, and the honest options are 600ml with a lid or 470ml without one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does HYV sell a 500ml steel tumbler with a straw?
No. HYV makes no 500ml body in any format. The nearest sizes are the 470ml open-top tumbler, which has no lid, and the 600ml tumbler, which does.
Why does the 470ml OpenFlow not take a straw?
It is an open-top tumbler supplied without a lid, so there is no lid to carry a straw port. Its rating reflects that open mouth: 6 hours cold and 3 hours hot.
How much retention does a straw lid cost?
Roughly half the cold figure against a sealed bottle. A sealed bottle is rated 24 hours cold, a 1.2 litre tumbler 12 hours cold and a 600ml tumbler 8 hours cold.
Which HYV tumblers have an inbuilt straw lid?
The 1.2 litre HydroPro, HydroMax and HydroPop ship in that family, and all three are handled. The 600ml bracket is the smaller straw-territory option.
Why do listings say 500ml when the product is not?
Because tumbler tooling clusters at real volumes like 470ml, 473ml and 530ml, and marketplaces round them to a friendly number. Buy on the millilitre figure in the specification, not the title.
