This report distinguishes itself through its comprehensive analysis of the scheme’s actual impact. Unlike prior studies that primarily quantify the number of connections provided, this report adopts a nuanced approach by categorizing households into three distinct groups: those that adopted LPG specifically as a direct result of the PMUY initiative, those that would have adopted LPG irrespective of the scheme, and those that received a connection but did not sustain its utilization. Such an analytical framework facilitates a more precise understanding of the scheme’s actual effectiveness and societal impact. The report sheds further light on the households most likely to struggle with sustained LPG use. By examining demographic and economic factors, it identifies the families who find it most challenging to maintain LPG usage. This insight enables policymakers to target support where it is most needed, ensuring that no household is left behind.
