This article seeks to assess the transition in household energy use for cooking in India based on data from two rounds of the India Human Development Survey in 2004–2005 and 2011–2012. In this study, we have used the multinomial logistic regression and Multiple Classification Analysis conversion model to assess the transition in household energy use according to the socio-economic characteristics of households. Our findings suggest that although the transition from solid fuel to clean fuel is universal across households, it is greater among the socio-economically better-off households than their poorer counterparts. The use of solid fuel for cooking was more prevalent among the socio-economically disadvantaged households than among their socio-economically better-off counterparts in both 2004–2005 and 2011–2012. Convergence in clean cooking fuel use across the households can be possible only when socio-economically disadvantaged households progress faster than their already better-off counterparts.

本文旨在根据 2004-2005 年和 2011-2012 年两轮印度人类发展调查的数据，评估印度家庭烹饪能源使用的转变。在本研究中，我们根据家庭的社会经济特征，使用多项逻辑回归和多元分类分析转换模型来评估家庭能源使用的转变。我们的研究结果表明，虽然从固体燃料到清洁燃料的转变在各个家庭中普遍存在，但在社会经济状况较好的家庭中，这种转变的程度要高于贫困家庭。2004-2005 年和 2011-2012 年，在社会经济弱势家庭中，使用固体燃料做饭比在社会经济状况较好的家庭中更为普遍。
