Abstract: As part of a programme on 'access to clean cooking alternatives in rural India', induction stoves were introduced in nearly 4000 rural households in Himachal Pradesh, one of the few highly electrified states in India. Analysis of primary usage information from 1000 rural households revealed that electricity majorly replaced Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG), generally used as a secondary cooking fuel, but did not influence a similar shift from traditional mud stoves as the primary cooking technology. Likewise, the shift from firewood to electricity as a primary cooking fuel was observed in only 5% of the households studied. Country level analysis indicates that rural households falling in lower monthly per capita expenditure (MPCE) classes have lesser access to electricity and clean cooking options than those falling in higher MPCE classes. Again, only three states in India with high levels of rural household electrification report consumption statuses more than 82 kWh per month (the estimated mean for electricity consumption by induction stoves). Overall, the results of the study indicate that induction stoves will have limited potential in reducing the consumption of firewood and LPG if included in energy access programmes, that too only in regions where high levels of electrification exist. Highlights: Primary survey of induction stove users was conducted in 1000 rural households. In 84% households, electricity replaced LPG as the secondary cooking fuel. In only 5% households, electricity replaced firewood as the primary cooking fuel. Electricity as a cooking fuel for rural India still needs massive investments. Currently, induction stoves are only able to reduce consumption of firewood and LPG.
