Suggest me a good inverter which can able to give backup for 4 fans,4 tubelights,1 Tv and a pc...

I have 2-3hrs of power cut...So keeping in mind of that,should get atleast 2hrs of backup...

How much it will cost ?

It should costs you roughly around 25-30K.
Not sure about current prices in the market. Get quote from dealer locally.

For Inverter Su-Kam/Microtek, Luminous, Numeric, APC are good options.
For battery go with EXIDE.

More important,OP should go with EXIDE INVATubular Batteries.Not only the warranty period is greater,but it also lasts long than other EXIDE batteries,such as MegaINVA(Which I am using...)

Ours is a Microtek 875W Inverter(marketed as UPS).

^^ 3yrs +

But I(like many of others) maintain the Battery by pouring distilled water through its water level indicator openings.
There are 6 of them in all.
