Clean Cooking Energy Transition in India: A Comprehensive Analysis of Access Trends, Urban - Rural Disparities and Policy Implications (2000 - 2025)

Ms. N. Jeny · 2026 · International Journal for Research Trends in Social Science & Humanities.

Summary. India's access to clean cooking fuels surged from 22.7% in 2000 to 76.7% in 2023, with rural access jumping nearly tenfold from 6.6% to 65.7%. The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana policy drove this rural acceleration, yet a 29.5 percentage point urban-rural gap persists. Current trends project 92% rural coverage by 2030, still missing universal access. The study recommends diversified strategies including electric cooking, enhanced subsidies, and behavioral communication to close remaining gaps.
