| Abstract: | The National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) at IISc Campus, Bengaluru, has completed the first phase of the project entitled “An Evidence-based Approach to Access Energy Transition in Clean Cooking” of 9-month duration funded by the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) Programme of Loughborough University, UK. The project's core objective was to Evaluate Energy Transition Readiness in the Residential Cooking Sector among Low and Medium-Income Households in Bengaluru. This project germinated through the active support of the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser (O/o PSA) to Govt’ of India, which helped in forming the collaboration between the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) Programme, Loughborough University (UK), and NIAS, through Finovista (in-country partner of MECS Programme in India). The close collaboration between the MECS Programme and NIAS ensured smooth and successful project execution. Through a detailed thematic survey of 910 households, the NIAS team unearthed several not-so-obvious socio-economic realities that dictate lifestyle choices, such as the choices made by households for residential cooking. These socio-economic determinants often remain unexplored, with scarce and fragmented information available in the open-source domain. Therefore, the results brought forth by the NIAS team, both in qualitative and quantitative forms, add significantly to the body of existing knowledge. The research also points at several gap areas that need attention from policymakers for the overall upliftment of society through appropriate interventions aimed at low-to-medium-income households. This study also aims to initiate informed engagements among the eCooking industry stakeholders, policymakers, and the consumer community. The objectives and the outcome of the project are aligned with India’s larger goals of energy transition, energy security, and self-reliance. The template created by the NIAS team provides an approach to look at the eCooking transition possibilities in different parts of India in subsequent phases. |
