Only half of urban slum households surveyed in 6 states use LPG exclusively: CEEW
About 50 per cent of urban slum households in six Indian states – including Uttar Pradesh and Bihar – use liquefied petroleum as (LPG) exclusively, according to a survey. The other four states surveyed are Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, CEEW’s Cooking Energy Access Survey 2020 released on Wednesday said.
The survey was conducted in urban slums across the six states. It covered 656 households across 83 notified and non-notified urban slums in 58 districts. “Only half of the urban slum households in six Indian states use LPG exclusively. This is in spite of 86 per cent of urban slum households in these states having an LPG connection,” according to the survey conducted by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW).
