Compare your PC’s measured average power draw and the hours you use it with the marginal electricity rate on your bill, then compare that energy cost with the cloud-gaming pass and period you would actually buy. For example, an assumed 300-watt PC running for eight hours uses 2.4 kWh: at the cited Lakshadweep FY 2026–27 rates, that is ₹12.72 or ₹18.48 in energy charges depending on the slab. Those figures are illustrative, not India-wide rates.
How to compare the costs fairly
Use the PC’s average draw at the wall while doing the activity you want to compare—not the power supply’s maximum rating. If you do not have a measurement, treat the wattage as an assumption. Then use the energy rate that applies to your household’s marginal consumption:
PC energy cost = (average watts ÷ 1,000) × hours × applicable marginal ₹/kWh
This estimates energy charges, not the full electricity bill. Fixed charges, taxes, subsidies and other bill items may affect what you pay. An official WBSEDCL estimator likewise asks for appliance wattage, quantity, daily hours and consumer type, and notes that its estimate excludes some other charges (WBSEDCL electricity bill calculator).

Worked example: eight hours at an assumed 300 W
At 300 W, the calculation is 0.300 kW × 8 hours = 2.4 kWh. Applying two rates from the Lakshadweep schedule below gives:
- At ₹5.30/kWh: 2.4 × ₹5.30 = ₹12.72 in illustrative energy charges.
- At ₹7.70/kWh: 2.4 × ₹7.70 = ₹18.48 in illustrative energy charges.
The 300 W is an arithmetic assumption, not a measurement of a particular PC. The two rates are middle slabs in one territory’s FY 2026–27 schedule, not representative India rates.
Why your electricity rate depends on where you live
India has no single household electricity rate for this calculation. Retail tariffs are determined by the appropriate electricity regulatory commissions, and state subsidies may apply to eligible consumer classes, including domestic consumers, according to the Ministry of Power’s statement dated 10 August 2026 (Ministry of Power release). Check your current tariff schedule and bill rather than using a national average.

One official tariff example: Lakshadweep, FY 2026–27
| Domestic consumption slab | Energy rate |
|---|---|
| 0–100 units | ₹3.55/kWh |
| 101–200 units | ₹5.30/kWh |
| 201–300 units | ₹7.70/kWh |
| 301–400 units | ₹10.05/kWh |
| Above 400 units | ₹13.05/kWh |
The Department of Electricity, UT of Lakshadweep, lists these rates and a fixed charge of ₹25/kW per month in its FY 2026–27 domestic LTDS-II schedule (Department of Electricity, UT of Lakshadweep). The fixed charge is part of the bill context; the worked example compares energy charges only. Your own slab and applicable charges may differ.

Time-of-day tariffs may also matter where they apply. A Ministry of Power release from 2023 describes the framework as allowing rates 10–20% below normal during specified solar hours and 10–20% higher during peak hours. Do not assume those adjustments apply to your household: check your tariff and whether the required smart-meter arrangements apply (Ministry of Power release on time-of-day tariffs).
Compare electricity with the cloud pass you would actually buy
JioGames lists a Pro Pass at ₹398 for 28 days (JioGames). Spread evenly over 28 calendar days, that is about ₹14.21 per day. This average is not a per-hour rate: a pass may cover days you do not play, while a shorter pass could be bought only for days you expect to use it. Compare its actual duration with your likely gaming schedule.
Rank #3
- CPU: AMD Ryzen7 5700X (up to 4.6GHz) 8-Core 16-Thread to easily handle multi-line tasks
- Main board: MSI B550M-A PRO motherboard provides reliable performance and stability
- GPU: Geforce RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7 Graphics Cards (Brand may vary) Support DLSS 4 multi frame generation, ray tracing, and Reflex 2 delay optimization
- RAM: 32GB DDR4 3200MHz (16GB*2) SSD: 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe
- Power supply: 650W (80plus bronze) certified for energy efficiency and stable performance
In the eight-hour, 300 W example, the PC’s energy charge is below that ₹14.21 calendar-day average at ₹5.30/kWh and above it at ₹7.70/kWh. This is only an energy-versus-pass illustration. It does not establish which choice costs less for you: the result changes with your actual PC draw, slab, usage pattern and chosen cloud plan.
JioGames describes its passes as playable on TV, PC, tablet and mobile, with controller support. Its page also advertises a ₹2,999 annual Pro Pass and controller bundle; confirm current offer terms before relying on that bundle price. A cloud service’s catalogue and access terms are not the same as owning a local PC or games. Compare the games you want, whether you already own them, your internet stability and compatible client device, and whether the PC serves other purposes.

What this comparison leaves out
The formula compares PC electricity with a cloud subscription or pass. It does not include buying or depreciating a PC, internet service, the client device’s power, game purchases or ancillary fees. Local ownership may provide value beyond gaming; cloud gaming depends on compatible hardware and a stable connection. Add only costs and benefits that are relevant to your situation, and avoid treating either option as an identical bundle.
A quick decision checklist
- Find the marginal energy rate and slab that apply to your household, including any relevant time-of-day tariff.
- Measure the PC’s average wall draw during the workload you want to compare, or clearly label your wattage as an assumption.
- Calculate the PC’s energy cost for your real session length with the formula above.
- Use the price and billing period of the cloud pass you would actually choose; divide by your expected use only if that helps you compare, and account for unused subscription days.
- Check catalogue, device, controller and internet requirements, and include hardware or game costs only where they genuinely differ between your options.
