Abstract: Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana is a significant government intervention in India for the cooking energy transition. The program was aimed to safeguard woman from different hazards associated with the use of TCF, whether it is related to their health, economies, or social well-being. The scheme provided the LPG connection to poor households with free or minimal costs. However, after receiving the LPG connection, the women continuously use TCF. The paper aims to identify the factors forcing women to use TCF. The paper finds that the easy access, price, and amount of usage of TCF and LPG, cooking practices, and food types of rural households discourage the adoption of LPG as a main fuel in rural India.
