The gas lighter with 28,897 ratings on Flipkart is badged 25% off. The ones around it are badged 80%. Across 84 distinct listings read on 13 November, the badge turns out to track which reference price a seller printed rather than what you save — and one seller name accounts for 18 of the listings on the shelf.
📅 Update log:
13 November 2026: first published. Flipkart's own search response returned 114 tiles on this date, logged out, from India, with nothing bought; after deduplicating on name, selling price and stated MRP, 84 distinct listings remain and every figure here refers to those. Medians, counts and badge ranges are arithmetic on Flipkart's published figures and are shown beside them. No lighter was ordered, lit or recharged, so nothing here assesses spark reliability, gas capacity or battery life.
The most-reviewed gas lighter on Flipkart carries 28,897 ratings and is badged just 25% off. Almost everything around it on the shelf is badged 57% to 87%. The Greenchef at Rs. 149 states a reference price of Rs. 199 — the smallest in the entire read.
That is from a read of 84 distinct listings on Flipkart's own search response on 13 November 2026. Prices run Rs. 82 to Rs. 489 with a median of Rs. 169, and 60 of the 84 sell under Rs. 200.
This is a price and ratings read, not a product test. Nothing was ordered or lit. Nothing here assesses spark reliability, gas capacity, refill behaviour, battery life or how long any lighter lasts — none of that appears on a listing tile, and on a product people replace every few months that is most of what matters.
What the shelf looks like
| Field | Range | Median | Spread |
|---|
| Selling price | Rs. 82 – Rs. 489 | Rs. 169 | 60 of 84 under Rs. 200 |
| Stated MRP | Rs. 199 – Rs. 1,499 | — | 30 distinct |
| Badge | 4% – 88% | — | wide |
| Rating count | 0 – 28,897 | — | 15 of 84 carry none |
Flipkart's search returned 114 tiles for this shelf, but they are not 114 products. The same listing comes back on more than one page, so this read deduplicates on name, price and stated MRP and works from the 84 distinct listings left. Every count on this page is of those 84.
It is a very cheap shelf. 60 of the 84 sell under Rs. 200 and the floor is Rs. 82. The dear end barely exists: the most expensive listing in the whole read is Rs. 489.
The electric lighters cost more. The 32 listings describing themselves as electric, rechargeable or USB have a median price of Rs. 198; the rest sit at Rs. 133.
The most-reviewed lighter has the shallowest badge
| Listing | You pay | Stated MRP | Badge | Rating |
|---|
| Greenchef Kitchen Gas Lighter, Instant Ignition | Rs. 149 | Rs. 199 | 25% | 4.2 / 28,897 |
| Balaji Combo lighter Steel Gas Lighter | Rs. 128 | Rs. 799 | 84% | 4.2 / 12,941 |
| Balaji flame Prime Premium Gas Stove Lighter | Rs. 98 | Rs. 499 | 80% | 4.2 / 9,735 |
| Balaji flame Prime Black + Electric Rechargeable | Rs. 232 | Rs. 1,499 | 85% | 4.1 / 9,245 |
| Balaji flame Prime black Kitchen Gas Stove Steel | Rs. 139 | Rs. 999 | 86% | 4.3 / 6,990 |
| Flipkart SmartBuy Kitchen Gas Lighter | Rs. 120 | Rs. 399 | 70% | 4.1 / 6,026 |
| Bienne 360 Degree Flexible Rechargeable Electric | Rs. 172 | Rs. 899 | 81% | 4.1 / 5,322 |
Greenchef's 28,897 ratings are more than twice the next listing's, and it is the only lighter in the top seven badged under 70%. It is badged 25%, because its stated MRP is Rs. 199 rather than Rs. 799 or Rs. 1,499.
Read that pair of columns together and the badge stops meaning anything. Greenchef at Rs. 149 and the Balaji flame Prime Premium at Rs. 98 are Rs. 51 apart at checkout. One claims 25% off and the other 80%. Both are ordinary, lawful ways to price a lighter; they simply start from different reference numbers.
One seller name holds 18 of the 84 listings

| Balaji flame Premium Black Kitchen GAS LIGHTER Steel | Rs. 133 | Rs. 999 | 87% | 3,513 |

| Balaji flame 1 Feet Black Kitchen Gas lighter (12 MM) | Rs. 130 | Rs. 299 | 57% | 3,340 |
"Balaji flame" appears on 18 of the 84 distinct listings in this read, from Rs. 82 to Rs. 232. Eleven of them are shown above; a separate "Balaji" name holds another at Rs. 128.
Several are described identically — just "Steel Gas Lighter" — and sell at Rs. 82, Rs. 97, Rs. 120, Rs. 123 and Rs. 128. Their stated MRPs are Rs. 399, Rs. 299, Rs. 699, Rs. 499 and Rs. 699, so the badges land at 79%, 68%, 83%, 75% and 82%.
The rating counts separate them far more usefully than the badges do. The Rs. 82 listing carries six ratings. The Rs. 98 listing carries 9,735. That is the single most useful comparison on this shelf, and the badge column points the other way.
Nothing here says who makes these. A shared seller name on Flipkart is a shared seller name; this read makes no claim about manufacturing, and no wrongdoing is alleged.
Thirteen listings lean on one stated Rs. 499
| Listing | You pay | Badge | Ratings |
|---|
| fullstar Metal Gas Lighter, Long | Rs. 82 | 84% | 164 |
| FLASHKITCH Steel, Plastic Gas Lighter | Rs. 86 | 83% | 199 |
| Flipkart SmartBuy Kitchen Gas Lighter | Rs. 89 | 82% | 262 |
| fullstar Steel Gas Lighter | Rs. 94 | 81% | 12 |
| Balaji flame Prime Premium Gas Stove Lighter | Rs. 98 | 80% | 9,735 |
| fullstar Long Reach Gas Lighter | Rs. 115 | 77% | 170 |
| Flipkart SmartBuy Premium Manual Gas Lighter | Rs. 123 | 75% | 446 |
| SOURIX Steel Electronic Gas Lighter | Rs. 173 | 65% | 5 |
| Navica Lifestyle Rechargeable Electric | Rs. 198 | 60% | 126 |
| NextEra USB Rechargeable Flameless Lighter | Rs. 244 | 51% | 6 |
Thirteen listings state an MRP of exactly Rs. 499 and sell anywhere from Rs. 82 to Rs. 244 — a three-fold spread. Because the reference is fixed and the price is not, the badge slides from 84% down to 51% across the group.
Rs. 499 is the most reused reference number on the shelf, but it is not alone: Rs. 999 covers nine listings, Rs. 699 nine and Rs. 799 seven. 30 distinct stated MRPs cover 84 listings.
The dear end is electric, and thinly rated
| Listing | You pay | Stated MRP | Badge | Ratings |
|---|
| JAINNEXT Mini Gold Brick Lighter Windproof | Rs. 489 | Rs. 1,299 | 62% | Unrated |
| Vamigo Plastic, Steel Electronic Gas Lighter | Rs. 401 | Rs. 649 | 38% | 309 |
| Debire Kitchen Stove/Candles Multicoloured | Rs. 382 | Rs. 599 | 36% | 1,599 |
| Madhuras Recipe Electric Lighter, Flameless | Rs. 300 | Rs. 599 | 50% | Unrated |
| Bonfire Electric Lighter Arc Windproof | Rs. 289 | Rs. 799 | 64% | 119 |
| MOJEGA Jet Flame Gas Lighter | Rs. 288 | Rs. 399 | 28% | 676 |
The two most expensive listings in the read that carry no ratings at all are a Rs. 489 JAINNEXT windproof lighter and a Rs. 300 Madhuras Recipe electric one. 15 of the 84 listings are unrated.
The dear end also carries the shallowest badges after Greenchef — MOJEGA 28%, Debire 36%, Vamigo 38%. So on this shelf, as on many, the deep badges sit at the cheap end and the shallow ones at the dear end.
Rechargeable arc lighters are a different object from a Rs. 90 steel spark lighter, and costing more is not a flaw. This read simply cannot tell you how long any battery holds, because that is not on a listing tile.
What this read cannot tell you
Nothing here was ordered, lit, refilled or recharged. A Flipkart listing tile carries a name, a price, a reference price, a badge, a star average and a rating count. It does not carry spark reliability, piezo life, gas capacity, refill compatibility, battery capacity or charge cycles — and this page makes no claim about any of them.
Flipkart's search returns the same listing more than once. The raw read was 114 tiles; after deduplicating on name, price and stated MRP, 84 distinct listings remain, and every figure on this page refers to those 84. Two listings that genuinely are separate products may still look alike when both are described only as "Steel Gas Lighter".
A shared seller name is just that. Where 18 listings carry the name "Balaji flame", this read reports the name Flipkart publishes. No claim is made about who manufactures any lighter, and nothing improper is alleged.
Rating counts are quoted exactly as Flipkart published them. No claim is made that any review is fake, and a large count is evidence that a lighter sells, not proof that it is well made.
Prices, stated MRPs, badges and rating counts move daily. This is one read on one day from one connection, and nothing here alleges wrongdoing by Flipkart or by any seller named.
How to shop this shelf
- Sort by rating count, not by badge. The best-evidenced lighter here carries 28,897 ratings and the lowest badge in the top seven.
- Watch out for near-identical listings from one seller name. Five "Balaji flame Steel Gas Lighter" listings sell at Rs. 82 to Rs. 128; one has six ratings and another has 9,735.
- Rs. 100 buys a well-reviewed lighter on this shelf. 60 of the 84 listings sell under Rs. 200, and several of the most-rated sit under Rs. 150.
- Expect to pay about Rs. 65 more for electric. The 32 rechargeable and USB listings have a median of Rs. 198 against Rs. 133 for the rest.
- A 51% badge and an 84% badge can share one reference price. Thirteen listings state Rs. 499; compare the rupee figures across that group instead.
- Be careful above Rs. 300. Two of the four dearest listings in this read carry no ratings at all.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a gas lighter cost on Flipkart in November 2026?
Across 84 distinct listings read on 13 November 2026, prices run Rs. 82 to Rs. 489 with a median of Rs. 169, and 60 of the 84 sell under Rs. 200. The cheapest in the read are a fullstar metal lighter and a Balaji flame steel lighter, both at Rs. 82. Electric and rechargeable lighters cost more: their median is Rs. 198 against Rs. 133 for the rest. Prices move daily, nothing was bought to verify a checkout total, and no coupon or bank offer is included in any figure.
Which gas lighter has the most reviews on Flipkart?
A Greenchef kitchen gas lighter at Rs. 149, with 28,897 ratings and a 4.2 star average — more than twice the count of anything else in this read. Behind it sit a Balaji combo lighter at Rs. 128 (12,941 ratings), a Balaji flame Prime Premium at Rs. 98 (9,735) and a Balaji flame combo at Rs. 232 (9,245). The Greenchef is also the only one of the top seven badged under 70%, because its stated MRP is Rs. 199. A large rating count is evidence that a lighter sells, not proof that it is well made — nothing here was ordered or lit.
Why do so many Flipkart gas lighters show 80% off?
Because the reference prices are set well above the selling prices at the cheap end of the shelf. Thirteen listings state an MRP of exactly Rs. 499 while selling from Rs. 82 to Rs. 244, so the badge slides from 84% to 51% across that one group. Nine listings share a stated Rs. 999 and nine more a stated Rs. 699. Meanwhile the dearest listings in the read badge 28% to 38%. Setting a reference price above a selling price is ordinary, lawful retail practice; it just means the badge is not a measure of what you save.
Is it worth paying more for an electric or rechargeable gas lighter?
This read can tell you the price gap but not whether it is worth it. The 32 listings describing themselves as electric, rechargeable or USB have a median price of Rs. 198 against Rs. 133 for the rest — about Rs. 65 more. A Bienne flexible rechargeable at Rs. 172 is the best-rated of them, with 4.1 stars from 5,322 ratings. But battery capacity, charge cycles and how long an arc lighter keeps working are not published on a listing tile, and nothing here was charged or used, so no claim is made about any of that.
Several Flipkart lighters have the same seller name and description - how do I choose?
Use the rating count, because nothing else separates them. Five listings in this read are described only as "Balaji flame Steel Gas Lighter" and sell at Rs. 82, Rs. 97, Rs. 120, Rs. 123 and Rs. 128, with stated MRPs of Rs. 399, Rs. 299, Rs. 699, Rs. 499 and Rs. 699 and badges of 79%, 68%, 83%, 75% and 82%. The Rs. 82 listing carries six ratings; the Rs. 98 Prime Premium from the same name carries 9,735. This read reports the seller name Flipkart publishes and makes no claim about who manufactures any of them, nor any allegation of wrongdoing.
Prices & codes last verified: November 13, 2026

Seller names are reported exactly as Flipkart publishes them and no claim is made about who manufactures any lighter. A large rating count is evidence that a product sells, not proof that it is well made. Stating a reference price above a selling price is ordinary and lawful retail practice, and nothing here alleges wrongdoing by Flipkart or by any seller named. No coupon code, bank offer or delivery charge is included in any figure.
