Between 2014 and 2015 SPARC, an Indian NGO, conducted a household survey in order to get a clearer and fact based picture on the energy consumption patterns, issues related to access of energy, needs and demands, as well as challenges of the urban poor. The survey has covered more than 240 households in Mumbai, Bangalore and five medium sized cities in India (Nashik, Ahmednagar, Jalgaon, Thane and Raipur). This is a visual report of the survey results.
