The use of clean fuels such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) instead of biomass-based fuels used for cooking in India would be beneficial in several ways. However, only about 33.6 million or 17.5% of all Indian homes use LPG as their primary cooking fuel, with 90% of rural homes still dependent on some form of biomass. Hence this paper considers the possibility of enhancing the household use of LPG. From an overview of the cooking fuels used in India, it focuses on LPG, analysing the factors affecting current demand and projecting future scenarios.
