For modem alone, any basic inverter from a local shop should do.
how much do you want to spend max?

not more than 5k .... sud be enough to charge my lappy n also run the modem ....will check a few local chaps ...

@OP sorry for hijack

I also have the same problem. I have power cut at home from 8am so cannot book IRCTC tickets when I need tatkal.

Will a Basic UPS do the job ?

Yes. Get something like Intex 1KVA @Rs.1800. Gives a lot of backup to even PC's so obviously a modem alone wont be able to strain it

A APC 600 VA at around same price is also enough
