Thirty insulated steel flasks read on 5 October. Priced per 100 ml rather than per bottle, the order on the shelf turns almost completely over.
Insulated flasks are one of the few shelves where the unit is printed on every listing, so the arithmetic is available to anyone who does it. Across the 16 flasks seated from this read, the price per 100 ml of stated capacity runs from Rs. 53.90 to Rs. 206.43 - a 3.83-fold spread. The flask with the highest sticker price on the page, a 2-litre at Rs. 1,609, is the fourth cheapest by volume; the 280 ml bottle at Rs. 578 is the dearest thing here. Five listings state 1 litre and span Rs. 539 to Rs. 997.

Four rules. First: divide the price by the capacity printed in the title before comparing anything. On this shelf that single step moves a Rs. 1,609 flask to fourth cheapest and a Rs. 578 one to dearest. Second: know where the line falls. Here it is almost exactly at 500 ml - every listing of 500 ml or more costs under Rs. 100 per 100 ml and every listing under 500 ml costs more, regardless of brand or badge. Third: check the capacity group before the brand. Five listings state 1 litre and sell at Rs. 539, Rs. 819, Rs. 869, Rs. 975 and Rs. 997 - the same stated capacity and the same stated construction, a 1.85-fold spread, and the only one of the five with a substantial rating pool is the most expensive. Fourth: treat the stated MRP as noise and the rating count as signal. One listing here states a Rs. 14,300 MRP on a Rs. 429 flask, a 33.33x multiple, where the next highest stated MRP on the page is Rs. 2,455 - and three of the four cheapest listings by volume publish no rating at all. If the brief is the most volume for the money, Rs. 539 buys a stated litre with nothing behind it and Rs. 997 buys a stated litre with 14,087 ratings behind it; if the brief is the most-trusted flask here, that is a 500 ml at Rs. 659 with 152,820 ratings and one of the worst rates on the page. We bought, filled, timed and temperature-tested nothing.

Each selling price, stated MRP, discount badge, star average and rating count on this page was read on 5 October 2026 from amazon.in's own search-results listing for 'thermos flask stainless steel', logged out, in India, with nothing purchased. 30 listings were returned and 16 are seated.
Every millilitre figure used to compute a per-100 ml rate on this page is printed in the listing's own title - 280 ml, 300 ml, 460 ml, 500 ml, 750 ml, 800 ml, 1,000 ml, 2,000 ml. We did not measure, fill or weigh any flask, and where a listing's stated capacity is wrong the rate computed from it will be wrong too.
A per-100 ml rate is only readable where the stated capacity belongs to one vessel. Listings sold as multipacks or sets of bottles were left out rather than divided, because a pack count truncated out of a search-page title is the most common way a per-unit figure goes wrong.
On this shelf the published pools run from none at all to 152,820, and three of the four cheapest listings by volume carry no rating count. A 4.2 average on 3 ratings and a 4.2 on 152,820 are not the same evidence, so every card prints the sample size and no card treats a star average on a tiny pool as a verdict.
One listing states a Rs. 14,300 MRP against a Rs. 429 price, a 33.33x multiple, where the next highest stated MRP on the page is Rs. 2,455. This page reports that figure and the badge computed from it, and then ranks the flask on its per-100 ml rate like every other listing, because the stated MRP tells a shopper nothing.
'24 hours hot and cold', 'vacuum insulated', 'double wall', 'triple wall', 'leak proof', 'ISI certified', 'SS304' and every stated millilitre figure are the listings' own printed words, reproduced as printed. We did not buy, fill, invert, time or temperature-test anything, and nothing here is a statement about heat retention, leak resistance, steel grade, food safety or any certification.
In this read of 30 listings on 5 October 2026, the 16 seated flasks ran from Rs. 270 to Rs. 1,609 by sticker price. Priced by stated capacity they ran from Rs. 53.90 to Rs. 206.43 per 100 ml. One litre cost between Rs. 539 and Rs. 997 across five listings, 300 ml between Rs. 304 and Rs. 499 across three, and the single 2-litre listing cost Rs. 1,609. Prices change continuously, so check the live page.
In this read it was an unbranded 1-litre vacuum insulated steel flask at Rs. 539, which works out at Rs. 53.90 per 100 ml - 3.83 times cheaper by volume than the dearest listing on the page, a 280 ml bottle at Rs. 206.43 per 100 ml. It publishes no star average and no rating count at all. Capacity figures are the listings' own stated numbers; we did not fill or measure any flask.
On this shelf, almost exactly. Every listing of 500 ml or more came in under Rs. 100 per 100 ml and every listing under 500 ml came in above it, with the single exception of an 800 ml bottle at Rs. 120.00 per 100 ml. The 2-litre flask, which carried the highest sticker price in the read at Rs. 1,609, was the fourth cheapest by volume. Size set the rate far more reliably than brand name or discount badge did.
We can only report that it does. A 500 ml flask sold with three cups listed at Rs. 429 against a stated MRP of Rs. 14,300 - a 33.33 times multiple and a 97% badge - where the next highest stated MRP anywhere in this read was Rs. 2,455. No rating was published on the listing. An MRP is the figure a listing displays; we have not verified that any item here was ever sold at its stated MRP, and nothing on this page alleges mispricing or wrongdoing by anyone.
In this read, a 500 ml thermosteel bottle with a flip lid at Rs. 659 carried 152,820 ratings at a 4.2 star average - more than nine times the pool of any other listing here. At Rs. 131.80 per 100 ml it was also the fourth dearest flask on the page by volume, dearer than every 1-litre listing in the read. Rating counts are Amazon's own published figures on the date read and a star average is not our assessment of any flask.
