LPG connections in rural India: Startling findings

The study has come out with some startling findings.
8In all states, households that rely exclusively on biomass, and pay for some or all of it, end up spending more money on cooking energy than those who exclusively use LPG.
8Analysis of responses in UP indicate that though the distribution infrastructure for LPG is poor, they show higher subscription rate for LPG.
8This could partially be explained by the fact that a significant proportion of population rely on market procured firewood (as opposed to collecting it for free), and hence subsidised LPG (at the prevailing prices) becomes an economically economically competitive option.
8There is also a significant amount of mixed use.The mixed use of traditional fuels and LPG is a result of availability of free-of-cost biomass and its use alongside LPG, since it does allow for some cost savings.
8However, the adverse health associated with emissions from the use of traditional fuels are not accounted for by the decision makers of these households.
