Usage of safe and pollution-free cooking fuel is a luxury that is currently mostly available across income categories. Overall, 81 percent of Indian households use LPG/piped gas to cook their meals while 14 percent use firewood/dung cake. In response to a question posed to all LPG/piped gas owners: “Did you get a gas subsidy?”, about one-third of Destitute and one-fourth of Aspirer households stated they had got the LPG subsidy.
