India now has access to the world's cheapest pulse oximeter, courtesy of DetelPro — the healthcare arm of budget phone maker Detel. The DetelPro Oxy10 is priced at just Rs 299 and brings hospital-grade SpO2 and pulse monitoring to every household, a feature that became essential during the Covid-19 pandemic when falling blood oxygen levels emerged as a key warning sign.
DetelPro Oxy10: The Cheapest Pulse Oximeter in India
DetelPro, a brand under Detel, already holds a record for launching the world's cheapest feature phone. The Oxy10 extends that legacy into the healthcare space. At Rs 299, it undercuts even DetelPro's own previous oximeter — the DI-OXY10 — which launched just a month earlier at Rs 799. The device is sold through the company's official website at detel-india.com. Browse more affordable gadgets across categories on our site.

How Does the Oxy10 Compare to DetelPro's Previous Model?
DetelPro had already made headlines when it launched the DI-OXY10 pulse oximeter at Rs 799. The Oxy10 at Rs 299 is a direct successor that slashes the price by over 60%, making it more accessible than ever. Both devices are sold through the official DetelPro website and both include a 6-month warranty. The newer Oxy10 is essentially competing with the brand's own earlier offering.
Why a Pulse Oximeter Matters at Home
The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of monitoring blood oxygen levels at home. Doctors widely recommended keeping a pulse oximeter handy to detect silent hypoxia — a drop in oxygen saturation that can occur without obvious symptoms. A reading below 94% SpO2 is generally considered a warning sign requiring medical attention. The DetelPro Oxy10 makes this monitoring accessible to millions of Indian households at a price that was previously unimaginable for a certified medical device.
