₹14,000 is one of the most-searched water purifier budgets in India. 41 of the 141 purifiers verified on this site fall below it, from ₹1,449 to ₹13,499, with a median of ₹9,100.
15 of the 41 (37%) carry an RO stage, so there is real choice here for borewell, tanker and hard municipal supply. The non-RO units are for water already low in dissolved solids — check your TDS first, because UV and UF remove none.
8 brands are represented: KENT 20, Faber 8, Livpure 5, AO Smith 4, Pureit 1, Brita 1. Every price is the manufacturer's own, read from the brand's own store — never from a marketplace listing or a price-comparison page.
Remember that the purchase price is the smaller half of the decision. An RO purifier costs roughly ₹3,000 a year in filters and membrane; a UV or UF unit about ₹1,200; a gravity unit about ₹600. Those are category estimates and are shown on every product below.
