Quick answer

Plan roughly 50–80 litres per person, plus extra if you buy groceries weekly or store a lot of frozen food. A couple needs about 190–250 L (a single door is fine), a family of four 300–350 L double door, and families of six or more 450 L or larger.

Frequently asked questions

Which fridge size is best for a family of 4 in India?

A 300–350 litre double-door frost-free refrigerator suits most families of four.

Is a single door fridge more efficient?

Direct-cool single-door fridges use less power, but need manual defrosting. Frost-free double-door models are more convenient; look for a 3-star or higher BEE rating.
