  • The Ministry of Power and New and Renewable Energy has launched various initiatives to promote electricity-based cooking (e-cooking) in India.

  • These efforts aim to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and biomass for cooking and provide a clean, convenient, and cost-effective alternative.

  • The initiatives are as follows:

  1. E-Cooking in India: Electricity-based cooking has the potential benefits of energy efficiency, cost savings, and environmental protection.

  2. Go-Electric Campaign: To promote e-cooking devices and other electric appliances among the public.

  3. National Efficient Cooking Programme (NECP): The latest addition.

  • The NECP was launched by EESL, a joint venture company under the Ministry of Power, in November 2023 to provide affordable and efficient e-cooking solutions to households and institutions.

  • However, no surveys have been undertaken to study or assess the level of adoption of these initiatives in India.
