NEW DELHI: More than 70 per cent of Indian households use LPG as their primary cooking fuel and 85 per cent have LPG connections.
Delhi so far is the only state that has achieved universal access (100%) to clean cooking energy, an independent study carried out by Council on Energy Environment and Water (CEEW) has revealed.
The study titled ‘State of clean cooking energy access in India’ also finds as many as 54% of households are still using solid cooking fuels, including firewood, dung cakes, agriculture residue and charcoal, by either stacking them with LPG or solely relying on them. This exposes them to high levels of indoor air pollution.
