Modeled sensitivity

Residential and household

Watch

LPG, petrol, and public support are key sensitivities

A modeled exposure signal based on the tracked inputs and drivers; it is not a measure of observed sector health.

Households experience energy costs differently by fuel access, travel, and support coverage.

Household cooking cost driven by LPG cylinder price; commuting cost by petrol. Both are politically sensitive; government absorbs part of import price moves via subsidy.

Modeled sensitivity: Watch. Check the tracked inputs and drivers below.

Feedstock costs

Sensitivity drivers

  • LPG cylinder above ₹950 straining household budget
  • Petrol above ₹100/L reducing two-wheeler usage
  • Subsidy removal from 'affluent' LPG consumers
  • City gas distribution not reaching semi-urban areas
  • Kerosene PDS phase-out before LPG saturation

Why it matters

Household energy exposure is shaped by cooking fuel, commuting, electricity use, and local access to alternatives. Price movements can affect budgets differently across households, while public support and distribution systems influence how global energy costs reach consumers.
