Most inverters don't switch fast enough,that means even modem/routers can restart they also don't do voltage stabilization.
They use the name ups because people will understand what it is.

I have been using apc 1000uxi to power the entire house(lighting circuit only but includes pc/router,lcd tvs,led bulbs,ceiling/exhaust fans,air cooler) for the past 6 years.This way all the connected electrical devices gets stabilized voltage.

My APC non-pure sinewave UPS lasted 8 years without an identifiable issue and 2 weeks ago in its 9th year, it started causing a brand new motherboard with surge protection to shut down the computer due to voltage fluctuations.
 
How is the http://www.microtekdirect.com/nm36mx1kk11-1kva800/
I am getting it for 12k locally and a 40AH battery for 3k.

Any Other suggestions for UPS with battery inbuilt within 15k with pure sine wave output. As separate batteries are a big mess to handle.

Its says dc voltage of 36v meaning it needs 3 batteries in series.Which is one more battery then apc 1000va models.

I'm just using a surge protected power strip at the moment.

My eyes are on this model of UPS unless I can find a 750VA version for a lower price. I'm not sure my mini/mid tower setup can handle the heat output of a Radeon 390/390X so I only need 600 watts of power input instead of 800 watts: http://www.amazon.in/APC-SUA1000UXI-1000va-800w-Smart/dp/B00B71S6Q6

Since my UPS had voltage fluctuations after 8 years of use, I'd recommend this 1500VA Smart UPS for you incase your tower and monitor draw more than 800 watts (connecting a 850 watt PSU/SMPS to a 800 watt UPS could lead to voltage and similar issues):

How is this product?
http://www.iball.co.in/Product/iBall-Nirantar-Online-UPS-–-1006B--With-Battery-/913

it is coming with 3 x 9AH batteries inbuilt for about 14K with pure sinewave and modular circuitry. Also software control.

I want to see the plug points on that UPS as I don't want to use new cables for tower, monitor and power strip (my phone charger and beard trimmer are always connected to power strip which inturn is connected to a UPS if I have a UPS available). The rear of the APC Smart UPS use specialized plug points which is one factor other than price that is stopping me from pushing for funds for a new UPS.

If you're talking about the sockets then both would be having indian type sockets be it APC or Microtek/iball.

The issue is which is more reliable in performance, quality and service.
 
Unless you have a local service provider for iball, APC would be the better choice because they've been making UPS's for a longer time and their specialty is making UPS's.

I have an iball cabinet (chosen by shop) and my next cabinet would probably be an Antec because Antec has a better rear exhaust and better front panels.

APC = Performance + Quality for UPS.

Edit: As can be seen in this youtube video, the sockets are specialized so a converter (instead of specialized cables) is needed:

The need for external batteries for the APC is a deal breaker for me since I don't have the space to store external batteries.

I have come across these two UPS from CyberPower and they are a big name in the industry with reputed support.
The models are
OLS1000E (http://www.cpsww.co.in/products/ups_systems/ols/ols1000e.htm)
This comes with 3 internal batteries and pure sine wave online UPS available at₹ 14500.

OLS1000EXL
(http://www.cpsww.co.in/products/ups_systems/ols/ols1000exl.htm
OLS1000EXL)
This comes with external 3 batteries and rack accessories for the batteries.
Costs about ₹19000.

I had a conversation with distributor and they assured me great service and told me that when the product gets delivered to your place our technician will come to install it.

I think I should go with OLS1000E.
@vyral_143 @bssunilreddy your inputs also needed Pls!
 
I do not have first hand experience with CyberPower UPS. However wwith APC, their two UPS went bad in 2.5 years each. On reading and researching I found out that spares for APC are useless, one can buy new UPS by putting some more money.

It was @benryu who introduced me to CyberPower brand. He is using one since nearly a year or little more than that. He was also pissed off with APC and at present happy with CyberPower.

Oh, and he hasn't come online since long.
I'm getting so confused now.
I just checked my PSU is APFC EVGA 750W G2.
Sometimes it feels that a pure sine wave would be an overkill and I should just go with APC BR1500G-IN, but don't know if it would work with an apfc psu!
 
Since you are getting local servicing, go with the OLS1000E. It definitely has internal batteries, the price seems ok and it is a good fit for your apfc PSU.
 
I am using cyberpower 1000va BU1000 for my pc. Spoke to CC and they assured me that service will be proper. Apparently they dont have designated service centres but have service engineers all over the country who will provide onsite support.
