To reduce dependence on gas as cooking fuel, the government is working on aggregation models to promote electric cooking in kitchens, and is also likely to announce a set of incentives to encourage rural households to switch over.
“After the success of Ujjwala Yojana that brought in clean cooking protecting the health of rural women, electric cooking is going to be our new focus,” Ajay Tewari, additional secretary, ministry of power, said at an event here on Monday.
The ministry is planning to move from clean cooking to e-cooking but faces the challenge of expensive appliances.
