Croma Extension Board Prices September 2026: Surge Strips From Rs. 299
Twenty-three power strips at one chain, where the number in the title changes meaning halfway down the shelf and nobody tells you. Divide by the socket count and the aisle becomes legible again.
We read twenty-three extension boards and surge protectors on croma.com on 15 September 2026, and the titles do something worth knowing about. On sixteen of them the word 'Amps' is a load rating — 6 Amps, 10 Amps, the current the board carries. On the seven Honeywell listings the same word in the same place is a surge capacity, running to 36,000. They are not comparable quantities and nothing on the shelf says so. Price them per socket instead and the aisle runs from Rs. 99.67 to Rs. 742.25, a 7.4x spread.
Every price below was pulled from Croma on September 15, 2026 and checked against the MRP on the listing. Stack them with the live codes on our Croma coupons page, which the deals desk re-verifies daily.

Four rules for buying a power strip at Croma
First: check which quantity the title is quoting before you compare two listings. A 6 Amps board and a 36,000 Amps surge protector are not on the same scale, and a 10 Amps board carries more current than a 6 Amps one no matter what the surge units say. Second: divide the price by the socket count. It is the only figure that makes a Rs. 299 board and a Rs. 3,189 one comparable, and on this shelf it runs from Rs. 99.67 to Rs. 742.25. Third: check the ladder within the brand you are buying, not across brands — Belkin's four sizes get cheaper per socket at every step while Croma's own four-socket is a worse rate than its three. Fourth: look at the rating count before the stars, because only four of these twenty-three listings have ten or more and the whole Honeywell chapter has none. Our guide to Croma voltage stabilizer prices covers the other half of protecting what you plug in.

What we skipped — and why
What we look for
We read what the word 'Amps' is doing in each title
It is doing two different jobs, in the same position, on the same shelf. On the extension boards and most surge protectors it is a load rating — 6 Amps or 10 Amps, the current the board carries. On the seven Honeywell listings it is a surge capacity — 7,500, 12,000, 13,500, 15,000, 20,000 and 36,000 Amps, the spike the unit claims to absorb. These are different quantities measuring different things, and nothing in the titles distinguishes them. Sort this aisle by that number and the result is nonsense.
We divided every price by its socket count
Twenty-two of the twenty-three listings state one, so the shelf can be priced per socket. It runs from Rs. 99.67 to Rs. 742.25 per socket, a 7.4x spread, and the cheapest belongs to a Rs. 299 board that also carries the longest cable in the read at 4.2 metres. The arithmetic is ours, on Croma's displayed price and the socket count in the seller's own title. It is the one figure that lets a Rs. 299 board and a Rs. 3,189 one be compared at all.
We tested whether more sockets get cheaper, brand by brand
Within Belkin it is perfect: 3 sockets at Rs. 433.00 each, 4 at Rs. 387.25, 6 at Rs. 316.50, 8 at Rs. 287.38 — every extra socket cheaper than the last. Within Croma's own range it breaks: the 4-socket works out at Rs. 337.25 a socket against the 3-socket's Rs. 333.00, so the bigger board is the worse rate. We report both, because a rule that holds for one brand and fails for another is more useful than a rule stated flatly.
We checked whether a higher surge number costs more
Not within Honeywell, whose range contradicts itself twice over. Its 20,000 Amps 8-socket unit is Rs. 1,539 and its 13,500 Amps 4-socket unit is Rs. 2,029 — a higher claimed surge rating and twice the sockets, for Rs. 490 less. The dearest per socket on the whole page, Rs. 742.25, belongs to the 12,000 Amps PD20W, a lower surge figure than four other Honeywells here. The number on the box is not the price, and within one brand it is not even ordered.
We looked for review evidence, and found it stops at chapter three
Four of the twenty-three listings cleared ten ratings — a Havells with 33, and three Belkins with 31, 37 and 41 — and those four are the only cards on this page carrying a star pill. Every one of the seven Honeywell listings, the most expensive chapter here, has no star average and no rating count at all. Nothing on this page was plugged in, loaded or surged; every protection claim is the seller's own.
FAQs
What does the 'Amps' number on a Croma power strip mean?
It depends which listing you are reading, which is the problem. On the extension boards and most surge protectors here it is a load rating — 6 Amps or 10 Amps, the current the board is built to carry. On the seven Honeywell listings the same word in the same position is a surge capacity: 7,500, 12,000, 13,500, 15,000, 20,000 and 36,000 Amps, describing the spike the unit claims to absorb. Nothing in the titles distinguishes them, so a shopper sorting the aisle by that number is comparing two different quantities.
What is the cheapest extension board at Croma?
A GM Eclipse 6 Amps 3-socket board at Rs. 299, which is also the cheapest socket on the shelf at Rs. 99.67 each and carries the longest cable in the read at 4.2 metres — most of the shelf gives 1.8 or 2 metres. After that come a Philips 3-socket at Rs. 394 and two Crompton 4-socket boards at Rs. 449, which work out at Rs. 112.25 a socket. Across the whole read a socket costs between Rs. 99.67 and Rs. 742.25, a 7.4x spread.
Do bigger power strips cost less per socket?
Usually, but not always, and the exception is Croma's own range. Within Belkin the rule is perfect: 3 sockets at Rs. 433.00 each, 4 at Rs. 387.25, 6 at Rs. 316.50 and 8 at Rs. 287.38, falling at every step. Within Croma's own range it reverses — the 4-socket works out at Rs. 337.25 a socket against the 3-socket's Rs. 333.00. So check the ladder inside the brand you are actually buying rather than assuming the bigger board is the better rate.
Does a higher surge rating cost more at Croma?
Not within Honeywell, whose own range contradicts itself. Its 20,000 Amps 8-socket strip was Rs. 1,539 and its 13,500 Amps 4-socket strip Rs. 2,029 — a higher claimed surge capacity and twice the sockets for Rs. 490 less. The worst per-socket rate on the entire page, Rs. 742.25, belongs to the 12,000 Amps PD20W at Rs. 2,969, a lower surge figure than four other Honeywells here, three of which cost less. We did not test any surge claim; these are the sellers' own numbers.
Which Croma surge protectors actually have reviews?
Four of the twenty-three, and all four are in the first two chapters: a Havells Royal Star with 33 ratings at 4.1, and three Belkins with 31 at 4.5, 37 at 4.4 and 41 at 4.7. Those are the only cards on this page carrying a star pill. Every one of the seven Honeywell listings — the most expensive chapter, from Rs. 1,049 to Rs. 3,189 — has no star average and no rating count whatsoever. On that chapter there is simply no buyer evidence available.
