CEEW Study Finds Limited Exclusive LPG Use and Delivery Challenges in Rural India
A Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) study found that while 73% of rural Indian households used LPG in the past 90 days, only 23% relied on it exclusively, with many still using firewood. Just 47% of rural LPG users receive doorstep delivery, making refill costs and logistics major barriers. Migrant workers face the greatest challenges, with 79% lacking formal LPG connections. The study highlights the need for policies focusing on sustained, affordable, and reliable LPG usage beyond initial connections.
