It depends to stove you are using. If we are talking about those fancy stove with built in oven that cost thousands, sure induction cooker win hands down.
But if we were to compare with those old school rm50-100 type of gas stove, no need to say more, gas wins
Now my villa are using induction cooker, the cooking time increase from 25 minutes to 30 minutes.
But I counter this problem by using hot water to soften the noodle and vege first to get back the 5 minutes.Another question coming in now, how you get the hot water?

some of the first world countries enforce the use of induction is due to the long term cost.
some costs are hidden and you'll not see it immediately, such the effect of petrol based burning cost to the environment.
i don't want to provide too much details as it will derail everything. if you want a short answer whether gas stove or induction which one cost more, I can directly tell you it is gas stove.
You are right, some of the country yes. But definitely not in Malaysia. Maybe you do not know Malaysia rate. Do refer to paskal post.
Environmental friendly or not will be another aspect.

thanks for the first post. but that's normalized for india prices.
here's when it's normalized to malaysian prices:

adjusted for RM1.90 per kg LPG from KPDNKK controlled pricing.
adjusted for RM0.33 per unit electricity averaged from normal RM150-ish bill.
assuming that this :
is correct.
the original reference at

so no.
LPG cooking is still cheaper in malaysia. even when the efficiency is at 40%. if you take into account the adoption cost of a good induction cooker, the higher risk of failure of the component; it's a no brainer really.
Yes, this is more applicable to Malaysian.
