About
Ministry: Ministry for Power and New & Renewable Energy
Aim: To promote affordable and energy-efficient induction cookers
NECP is a subset of the Clean Cooking Scheme.
It focuses on Non-Solar/Electricity-based Induction Cookstoves, aligning with the Go- electric initiative by the Ministry of Power.
It introduces induction-based cook-stoves that offer cost advantages of 25-30% over traditional cooking methods.
By deploying 20 lakh (2 million) energy-efficient induction cook stoves across India, NECP seeks to reduce the environmental impact of cooking methods, resulting in cleaner air and improved health.
EESL has partnered with Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) for the large-scale deployment of induction cooktops.
The program is expected to accelerate the adoption of modern electric cooking devices in Indian households.
