![Six extension boards from this read, in their own Flipkart listing photographs on a colour-block banner]()
Every extension board on Flipkart tells you how many sockets it has. Not one tells you what a socket costs. We read 71 listings on 27 October 2026 from Flipkart's own search data and divided each by the socket count in its own title.
The shelf runs Rs. 14 to Rs. 339 a socket - 24 times - while the sticker prices run only 7.5 times. The dearest board is not the dearest socket, and the deepest badge sits twelve times above the cheapest rate.

A socket is not a standard unit. A 16 A socket, a 6 A socket and a two-pin outlet are different things, and some boards add USB ports, surge protection, a master switch, a longer cable or a reel. None of that is captured by dividing price by socket count, and this page does not claim it is. The figure is arithmetic the shelf does not do for you - a starting point for comparing like with like, not a ranking of which board is better built.
The cheapest sockets on the shelf: Rs. 14 to Rs. 18
Every one of the eight cheapest listings per socket has eight sockets or more. The floor is a Rs. 194 board with fourteen sockets - Rs. 14 each - and the next seven all sit between Rs. 16 and Rs. 18.
None of them is the cheapest board on the shelf. The cheapest board in the read costs Rs. 119, and because of how few sockets it carries it is nowhere near the cheapest socket. That inversion is the whole reason to divide.

The socket count is written four different ways on this shelf. "4+6 Socket", "5+5 Socket Extension Board 10 Socket", "10+1 extension cord", "Four-Way" - and on two tiles the total has to be added up before you can compare it with anything. If you are scanning a long results page, that inconsistency is the thing most likely to cost you money, because a "4+6" board and a "4 Socket" board look almost identical in a list and differ by six outlets.
The dearest sockets: Rs. 174 to Rs. 339 each
At the other end, every one of the eight dearest listings per socket has three sockets or fewer. Two of them are single-socket boards sold mainly for their cable length; three publish no rating at all.
The two deepest badges on this page are at opposite ends of the rate. A Rs. 169 ten-socket board is badged 83% and works out at Rs. 17 a socket. A Rs. 410 two-socket board is badged 79% and works out at Rs. 205 a socket. Four badge points apart, twelve times the rate, and the second one has no rating at all.

What the badge is actually measuring
The discount badge on this shelf runs 9% to 91% with a median of 63%, and it is arithmetic on whatever MRP each seller prints. It does not correlate with the per-socket rate in either direction - the cheapest socket in the read carries a 68% badge, the dearest carries 43%, and the 91% tile sits in the middle of the rate range.
We report stated MRPs as published figures and assert nothing about whether any board sold at one. Nothing on this page alleges wrongdoing by Flipkart or by any seller named. The practical reading is narrow: on this shelf, the percentage tells you about the seller's chosen reference price and the socket count tells you what you are buying.
Three checks before buying an extension board on Flipkart
One: divide before you compare. Two boards Rs. 30 apart on the tile can be ten times apart per socket, and the sticker price ranks this shelf in almost the opposite order to the rate. Two: check the current rating and the socket type, not just the count. A 6 A socket will not take a high-draw appliance, USB ports are not sockets, and nine listings here publish no buyer feedback at all.
Three: treat cable length and surge protection as separate line items. Several of the dearest-per-socket boards in this read are priced for a five-metre cable or a reel rather than for outlets, which a rate per socket will always make look expensive. Electrical accessories carry real safety implications - check the listing's own current rating, ISI marking and warranty before buying, and prices change without notice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an extension board cost on Flipkart in October 2026?
Across 71 extension board listings read on 27 October 2026 from Flipkart's own search data, prices ran Rs. 119 to Rs. 891. Read per socket - which every listing makes possible and none prints as a rate - the same shelf runs Rs. 14 to Rs. 339 a socket, median Rs. 68. The cheapest socket was on a Rs. 194 fourteen-socket board; the dearest on a Rs. 339 single-socket board.
Is a bigger extension board cheaper per socket?
On this shelf, consistently. All eight of the cheapest listings per socket have eight sockets or more, and all eight of the dearest have three or fewer. But the comparison is not clean: single- and double-socket boards are often priced for a five-metre cable or a reel rather than for outlets, and a rate per socket will always make those look expensive. Socket type matters too - a 6 A outlet, a 16 A outlet and a two-pin outlet are not interchangeable.
Does a 91% discount on a Flipkart extension board mean anything?
It means the seller stated a high MRP. The badge on this shelf runs 9% to 91% with a median of 63% and it does not track the per-socket rate at all. A Rs. 169 ten-socket board badged 83% works out at Rs. 17 a socket; a Rs. 410 two-socket board badged 79% works out at Rs. 205 - four badge points apart and twelve times the rate. We report stated MRPs as published figures and allege nothing about them.
How do I read the socket count on a Flipkart extension board listing?
Carefully, because it is written inconsistently. In this read the same information appeared as "4+6 Socket", "5+5 Socket Extension Board 10 Socket", "10+1 extension cord" and "Four-Way", and on some tiles the total has to be added up. USB ports are listed alongside sockets on several boards but are not sockets - the Portronics Power Plate 5, for example, is a three-socket board with three USB ports, and we counted three.
Which extension board has the most reviews on Flipkart?
In this read, a Rs. 566 Portronics Power Plate 5 with 4,404 ratings. It is also one of the dearest per socket at Rs. 189. 9 of the 71 listings publish no rating at all, including three of the eight dearest-per-socket boards on this page. A rating count is not a measure of electrical safety, and we have not tested or plugged in any of these.
Prices & codes last verified: October 27, 2026
Every selling price, stated MRP, discount badge, star average, rating count and socket count on this page was read from flipkart.com's own search data on 27 October 2026, logged out, from India, with nothing bought. Nothing was purchased, delivered, unpacked, plugged in or tested, and no claim is made about current rating, wire gauge, insulation, surge protection, ISI certification, electrical safety, fire risk, build quality or warranty service on any board. Electrical accessories carry real safety implications; check each listing's own current rating, certification and warranty before buying. Every per-socket figure is our own arithmetic: the selling price divided by the socket count the listing's own title states, with USB ports counted separately and never added in. A socket is not a standard unit - 6 A, 16 A and two-pin outlets differ, and cable length, reels, master switches and surge protection are priced into boards in ways a rate per socket cannot capture, so a high rate is not by itself evidence of poor value. The 71 listings were reached by Flipkart's own search and are not a census of what Flipkart sells - results vary by query, ranking, login state, pin code and time of day. A stated MRP is the figure each listing prints; we report it and compute badges from it, but nothing here asserts that any such figure is false or improper, and nothing alleges wrongdoing by Flipkart or by any brand or seller named. Where a listing publishes no rating we report the absence as an absence, which is not evidence about quality in either direction. Prices change without notice and cart-level coupons are not visible in this data - check the live listing before buying. Zoutons may earn a commission on purchases made through links on this page; this does not affect what is written above.
