How to use the Tubewell Diesel Cost Calculator

Diesel tubewells keep the crop alive, but every hour of pumping burns cash — and farmers who do not know their per-hour cost cannot compare diesel with electric or solar pumping. This tubewell diesel cost calculator multiplies the current diesel price by your engine hourly consumption (typically 3–5 litres for a Peter-type engine) and your daily pumping hours. The per-hour and per-day figures make the true irrigation cost visible and the solar-payback calculation honest.

  1. Enter the current diesel price per litre.
  2. Enter your engine fuel consumption in litres per hour.
  3. Enter how many hours per day you pump.
  4. Click Calculate to see the cost per hour and per day.
  5. Compare the marla figure with your plot size to see how much open space remains.

Formula

Cost per hour (Rs) = diesel price × litres per hour. Cost per day = cost per hour × pumping hours.

Worked example

Diesel at Rs 260 with a 4 L/hour engine pumping 8 hours: Rs 1,040 per hour = Rs 8,320 per day. Over a 120-day season that is nearly Rs 1 million — the figure to weigh against solar. Log daily hours in a notebook so the seasonal total never surprises you.

Frequently asked questions

Typically 3–5 litres per hour for a Peter-type diesel engine driving a 4–6 inch turbine.

Electric is far cheaper per hour where the connection exists; diesel cost per acre-inch often runs 3–4 times higher.

Service the engine, fix suction leaks, level the field to cut pumping hours, and consider solar for daytime pumping.
