Alternative cooking fuel distribution for kerosene shortage areas

The Opportunity

Rural households in Marathwada (Beed district) face a 45-day LPG waiting period due to West Asia conflict, forcing them back to traditional fuels. The government is distributing kerosene as a stopgap, but there's a massive gap for households wanting cleaner, faster alternatives. A local entrepreneur can source and distribute biogas stoves, portable gas cartridges, or improved coal stoves to fill this 3-6 month shortage window.
