What the price bands actually buy
- ₹250–₹600 — single-wall steel. No insulation; the only benefit is that it is not plastic. Water is at room temperature within an hour or two.
- ₹600–₹900 — entry double-wall, frequently uncertified. Some genuinely insulate, some are double-walled with air still in the gap.
- ₹900–₹1,700 — the sensible band. Real vacuum insulation, 304 inner wall, a lid designed to be dried, and a certification you can check.
- ₹1,700–₹2,500 — lid engineering, finish, colourways and spares availability. The insulation is not meaningfully better.
Which is why a ranking that sorts purely on price tells you very little. The step that matters is the one at roughly ₹800–₹900, where genuine vacuum construction becomes possible at all.
