Here we tell you indicative costs in 2026 for each type of oven, hidden expenses to be aware of and how to make your decision of which oven size to buy.

Prices vary a lot between suppliers. A very low quote usually means thinner insulation, lighter steel or a basic burner, so compare specifications, not only the price.
What Decides the Price of a Bakery Oven?
1. Oven Size/Type
More chambers or trays mean the use of more steel, insulation, and controls. 14-tray rotary oven is much cheaper than 144-tray. Deck oven is suitable for bread and pizzas, while rotary rack oven is suitable for producing large batches of cookies, buns, biscuits, and cakes.
2. Fuel Source
Diesel, LPG, PNG, and electric powered ovens are different in their costs of purchase and operation. Electric ovens usually have lower initial cost at smaller size but higher operational cost. Gas and diesel ovens are suitable for higher capacity production.
3. Construction Materials
Chamber material, outer body material grade, insulation material thickness, and door type are some of the factors that you need to consider. Triple layer rockwool insulation and stainless-steel chamber will make the oven expensive but more energy efficient and durable.
4. Burner and Controls
Brand burners (Riello, Baltur) and control system (digital PLC controls) will increase cost but improve reliability and accuracy of temperature setting.
5. Additional Features
Automatic steam, automatic rotation, and additional trolleys increase cost.
6. Brand and Services
Companies that offer installation, spare parts, and service may be more expensive than traders but save cost on repairs.
Example: What Specifications Look Like on a Rotary Rack Oven
To see how capacity links to size and running needs, here are published specifications of Anmol’s ABM series rotary rack ovens (13″ x 18″ trays, diesel, LPG, PNG or electric options):
| Model | Trays | Production (Flour/Day) | Diesel Use (Approx.) | Connected Load |
| ABM-200 | 14 | 75 to 100 kg | 1.25 L/hr | 2 to 3 HP |
| ABM-300 | 28 | 150 to 200 kg | 2.0 to 2.5 L/hr | 3 to 5 HP |
| ABM-400 | 36 | 200 to 300 kg | 2.5 to 3.0 L/hr | 4 to 6 HP |
| ABM-600 | 42 | 250 to 350 kg | 3.0 to 3.5 L/hr | 5 to 7.5 HP |
| ABM-800 | 72 | 400 to 500 kg | 4.0 to 5.0 L/hr | 7.5 to 10 HP |
| ABM-1000 | 120 | 600 to 800 kg | 6.0 to 7.5 L/hr | 10 to 15 HP |
| ABM-1500 | 144 | 800 to 1,000 kg | 8.0 to 10.0 L/hr | 15 to 20 HP |
All models bake at up to 300°C with a 12 to 25 minute baking time. Prices are not listed publicly, so request a quotation for your chosen model and fuel type.
The Hidden Costs Most Buyers Forget
Price of oven is not the only investment. The following list will help you calculate the total cost:
- GST: Not always included in quoted prices. Verify the present rate with your supplier or accountant.
- Freight and unloading charges: Rotary ovens may weight from 700 kg to 3,500 kg.
- Installation and commissioning: Positioning, leveling, installation and testing of burners.
- Electricity: Rotary ovens usually require a 415V 3-phase supply.
- Chimney or exhaust system: If you have diesel or gas oven, you’ll need it.
- Fuel storage or fuel gas lines: Diesel storage tank, LPG gas bank or PNG gas line.
- Baking trays and trolleys: Make sure of number of baking trays and trolleys included.
- Water supply: To supply steam system.
- Parts for spare and servicing: Keep in mind some reserve of spare parts, especially for burners.
- Licenses and approvals: FSSAI registration or any other licenses and approvals.
Useful rule is to consider an additional 10 to 20% to the quoted price of the oven for all of these, and after receiving the quotes make appropriate corrections.
Running Costs: Do Not Ignore Fuel
A cheap oven that burns a lot of fuel can cost more over five years. Here is a simple illustration using the diesel figures above and an assumed price of ₹90 per litre. Replace it with your local rate.
| Model | Diesel Use | Approx. Cost per Hour |
| 14-tray (ABM-200) | 1.25 L/hr | About ₹110 |
| 28-tray (ABM-300) | 2.0 to 2.5 L/hr | About ₹180 to ₹225 |
| 42-tray (ABM-600) | 3.0 to 3.5 L/hr | About ₹270 to ₹315 |
Compare the cost per kilogram of product baked, not just the cost per hour. A larger oven that runs full is usually more efficient than a small oven run many times.
How to Choose the Right Oven for Your Budget
- First off, determine output: Calculate your current output per day in kg of flour or no. of trays.
- Select the oven based on your product line: If breads and pizzas are your products, go for deck ovens. For volume cookies, buns and cakes, use rotary rack ovens.
- Think ahead: You may be better off buying an oven with slight extra capacity today than replacing an undersized oven after two years. Click here to read our guide on selecting the appropriate capacity of rotary rack oven.
- Determine space and power requirements: Be sure that you have enough floor space, ceiling height and 3-phase power supply before purchasing the oven.
- Determine the fuel source based on cost and availability: Each fuel such as diesel, LPG, PNG and electricity comes with its advantages and disadvantages.
- Compare written quotes for identical specifications: Insist on identical chamber material, insulation, burners and controls.
New vs Used Ovens
A used oven looks cost-effective at first glance, but there are some issues involved such as burned out elements, broken insulation, lack of warranty, and difficult to procure spare parts. A used oven may be a good option if your finances are limited and you can examine the condition of the oven yourself and run a load test.
