Why Unit Conversion Matters
India uses the metric system officially, but daily life involves a mix: land is measured in bigha, gunta, and acres; gold in tolas and grams; milk in litres; cooking in cups and tablespoons; and international business in pounds, miles, and gallons. Our unit converter covers all standard categories with one-click conversion between metric and imperial units.

Indian-Specific Conversions to Know
Land Area
1 acre = 4,047 sq m = 43,560 sq ft. 1 bigha varies by state: UP bigha = 2,500 sq m, Bengal bigha = 1,337 sq m, Rajasthan bigha = 1,618 sq m.
Gold Weight
1 tola (traditional Indian gold unit) = 11.664 grams = 0.375 troy ounce. Most jewellers now use grams but older contracts and family jewellery often specify tolas.
Cooking Measures
1 cup = 240 ml | 1 tablespoon = 15 ml | 1 teaspoon = 5 ml. Indian recipes often say "1 katori" which is approximately 150–200 ml depending on katori size.
Fuel Economy
India uses km/litre (higher = better). US uses miles per gallon (higher = better). To convert: km/l × 2.352 = mpg (US). A 15 km/l car = 35.3 mpg.
