Industry body pitches for ethanol-based cookstoves
Business Standard
|March 17, 2026
As India faces a shortage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) amid West Asia conflict, grain-based ethanol producers have proposed introducing ethanol-based cook stoves as additional clean cooking option.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi a few days ago, the Grain Ethanol Manufacturers Association (GEMA) urged the government to consider launching pilot projects to examine the feasibility of ethanol cook stoves for households and commercial establishments.
The industry body said ethanol-based cooking solutions could complement existing LPG usage, particularly at a time when India's growing cooking fuel demand relies heavily on imports.
