India is taking significant steps to reduce its dependence on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) by promoting electric cooking stoves, particularly induction cooktops. This initiative is a response to the ongoing shortage of cooking gas, largely attributed to the conflict in West Asia. The Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL) plans to revamp the National Efficient Cooking Programme (NECP) to meet the rising demand for electric stoves, which has seen a dramatic increase in consumer interest. Reports indicate a 30-fold increase in sales of induction cooktops within just two days of the LPG crisis. To facilitate this shift, EESL is exploring partnerships with multilateral financial institutions like the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to provide zero-interest loans for these cooktops, effectively subsidizing the cost for economically weaker households. The NECP, which originally targeted the deployment of 2 million cookstoves, may see its goals revised upwards due to this renewed interest. Furthermore, the Indian government is also looking to boost domestic production of induction cookers and related components to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities exacerbated by the ongoing conflict in West Asia.
