Jaquar Tankless Water Heater (Insta Prime) Price 2026

Short answer

Jaquar's tankless water heater, the Insta Prime, costs ₹9,850 to ₹30,900 with us, at Jaquar's 2026 NRP. It comes in six ratings: 5.5, 7 and 9 kW on single-phase supply (₹9,850–₹12,800) and 12, 18 and 24 kW on three-phase 400 V supply (₹24,600–₹30,900). There is no tank, so hot water does not run out — but the water only gets as hot as the kilowatts allow at your shower's flow rate, and every model needs wiring sized for it. In Mumbai, where cold water is rarely below 25°C, a 9 kW unit can run one shower; in a cold north-Indian winter you need 18 kW or more.

In detail

All six Insta Prime models

On Jaquar's spec sheet the three-phase models are 245 x 478 x 90 mm, work at 0.2–6 bar, deliver 30–55°C, and carry 3 years on the heating element and 1 year on other components.

How hot will the water be?

A tankless heater warms water as it passes. The temperature rise is simply the power divided by the flow, and it is worth doing the sum before you buy:

These are the theoretical maximums (1 kW raises 1 litre a minute by about 14.3°C) before any heat loss in the pipes. A comfortable shower is around 40°C. With Mumbai mains at 25–28°C you need a 12–15°C rise, which a 9 kW unit gives at 8 litres a minute. In Delhi in January, with water near 10°C, you need a 30°C rise — 18 kW at 8 litres a minute.

The wiring, plainly

Current is power divided by voltage. On single phase at 230 V, the 5.5 kW draws about 24 A, the 7 kW about 30 A and the 9 kW about 39 A — each needs its own circuit with cable and breaker sized for it, not a socket. On three phase at 400 V the 12, 18 and 24 kW draw about 17, 26 and 35 A per phase. Have an electrician check your meter and load before ordering; this is the one decision that cannot be fixed after installation.

Tankless or a storage geyser?

A 25 litre storage geyser costs ₹9,350 to ₹19,700 and runs on an ordinary 2 kW circuit, but it eventually runs out. Insta Prime never runs out and has no standing loss — nothing is kept hot between uses — but it needs heavy wiring and enough power for your climate. For one Mumbai bathroom with a normal supply, a 25 litre storage geyser is still the simpler choice; tankless makes sense where showers run back to back or the space for a tank is not there.

Jaquar Insta Prime or Venus Quik

Venus's Quik tankless range is ₹6,819 to ₹36,289 with us. At 5.5 kW the Venus is cheaper (₹6,819 against ₹9,850); at 12 kW Jaquar is cheaper (₹24,600 against ₹24,739); at 18 and 24 kW Jaquar is cheaper by ₹5,599 and ₹5,389. See Jaquar vs Venus geyser.
