Technology Innovation in the Indian Clean Cooking Sector: Identifying Critical Gaps in Enabling Conditions
The report finds that India's clean cooking sector is hampered by a lack of cross-government coordination, limited access to commercial finance for entrepreneurs, and a significant gap in consumer awareness. While the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has established technical standards, the sector remains supply-driven, often ignoring the agency and specific preferences of rural households. The authors argue that the National Biomass Cookstoves Initiative (NBCI) should evolve into a cross-government National Mission to leverage the distribution networks and awareness-raising capacities of other ministries.
