LPG consumption rises across India as Ujjwala families refill more often, reflecting shift to clean cooking

14 January 2026

LPG consumption in India is showing sustained growth as households enrolled under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana are refilling cylinders more frequently. The trend reflects deeper adoption of clean cooking fuels, highlighting the programme’s impact on improving household energy access, health outcomes, and the transition away from traditional fuels across the country.

Rising LPG consumption across India is signalling a deeper shift in household energy behaviour, with clean cooking fuels becoming an integral part of daily life for millions of families. The trend reflects growing confidence in LPG as a reliable and accessible energy source, particularly among lower-income households.

Increased refill frequency among beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana points to sustained usage rather than one-time adoption. This marks an important transition from traditional fuels to modern energy solutions, supported by improved distribution networks and greater awareness of the health and convenience benefits of LPG.

The continued growth in LPG usage strengthens India’s broader energy access and inclusion agenda. By embedding clean cooking fuels into household routines, the programme is contributing to better health outcomes, reduced indoor pollution, and a more resilient domestic energy ecosystem aligned with long-term development goals.
