Dear Nikita / Nishita,
I hope your bio-degradable battery project is progressing well
I suppose such a battery can be re-charged using power generated by Solar Panels . In that case, it could be a small / cheaper version of TESLA’s POWERWALL
If that is feasible, it could ( perhaps ) store enough power to support a SOLAR CHULHA described below ( I believe that video-link , in the email below, of IIT _ Bombay’s prototype uses such a storage device )
That could be of interest to Central Govt

Subject: RE: ATTN : SHRI NARENDRABHAI MODIJI / SHRI PIYUSH GOYALJI
Inscrutable are the ways of the Providence ?
Sorry !
That should read : Ways of the Politicians
Here is why :
Ø In Sept 2017 , while inaugurating ONGC’s corporate office, PM Shri Modiji said :
“ Our poor rural ladies are suffering due to air pollution caused by burning wood – straw – cow-dung cakes – kerosene , for cooking on chulhas . Millions of them are prematurely dying due to lung diseases. We must give them Solar Chulhas “
Ø That motivated ONGC to challenge our geeks to come up with a design of Solar Chulha .
Ø On 03 Nov 2017,. ONGC inserted a big advt in national news papers – without any mention of the TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS !
( Source : Solar Chula ? Some Unanswered Questions )
Ø That prompted me to send an E Mail to ONGC Chairman [cmd@ongc.co.in ], describing such SPECIFICATIONS
( Source : Solar Chulha : Where can I buy ? )
Ø Lo and Behold ! ONGC uploaded following page on its website, incorporating my suggestions
( Source : https://startup.ongc.co.in/
Ø 1500 parties applied. In April 2018, ONGC announced the results of the competition, declaring a IIT-Bombay team as the winner of First Prize
( Source : Dear Shri Goyalji : How about a Solar Cooker ? / 26 Aug 2020 )
Ø It is three years now and those Solar Chulhas are nowhere to be seen !
Ø
I stand corrected :
4 / 5 months back , Minister Shri Dharmendra Pradhan , distributed some 74 Solar Chulhas to villagers of
Betul Village ( Madhya Pradesh )
( Source :
Ø Other than that there is NO NEWS at all of any Govt Plan
Ø
# to get these Chulhas “ Mass Produced “
AND
# any SCHEME to distribute it to 270 Million rural households, as suggested in :
( Source : Time to " Talk the Walk " / 19 Sept 2020 )
Ø There is neither any mention of the SPECS – PRICES – SUBSIDY amounts – Names of Manufacturers etc of these 74 Chulhas !
RELATED READINGS :
Not in one day : What about 3 years ? ……………..[ 25 Oct 2020 ]
Extract :
The government has allocated Rs 40,915 crore as petroleum subsidy for FY21, a 6 per cent increase from Rs 38,569 crore allocated for the last fiscal
Out of this the allocation for LPG subsidy has been increased to Rs 37,256.21 crore for current year.
Now take a look at the following figures :
Ø Total No of Households in India………………………. 27 Crore ( 270 million )
Ø Poor Households covered by Ujwalla Scheme… 8 Crore ( 80 million )
Ø Increase in LPG Consumption ( 2014 > 2019 ).. 56 %
Ø Import of LPG ( in Aug 2020 )……………………………… 1.24 million tons
Ø LNG import in 2019-20……………………………………….. 33,
MY TAKE :
Ø Allocation of Rs 37,256 crore for LPG subsidy ( for cooking ), is an ANNUAL RECURRING expense
Ø If household cooking was to be based on use of a SOLAR CHULHA ( Stove ), then no need for LPG !
Ø Some 3 years ago, IIT-B won a competition for design of a Solar Cooking Stove
Ø Govt had specified its max “ Sale Price” at Rs 10,000 /- per Stove [ $ 135 ]
Ø For Rs 37,256 Crore , govt can buy and distribute ( FREE ), some 3.7 cr ( 37 million ) solar stoves
Ø Within about 2 years, Govt can handover a SOLAR STOVE to all households covered by Ujwalla Scheme
Ø Of course , since food gets cooked even when there is NO SUNSHINE , each Solar Stove would require a Tesla’s POWERWALL type of Storage device ( in which PM Shri Modi had shown keen interest during his visit to TESLA factory in 2015 )
Ø If my suggestion gets implemented, country would save annually , foreign exchange worth Rs 37,256 Cr

Ø EESL gearing up to distribute induction stoves for households
Ø “...committee has been formed for the proposed programme, which comes under the Clean Cooking Mission, of distributing induction stoves for domestic consumers,” SG Garnaik, Chief General Manager-Technical, EESL, told BusinessLine here. [ spgarnaik@eesl.co.in ]
Ø At present, two options are being explored for induction stoves, one is solar PV (photovoltaic)-based and another one is grid power-based.
Ø A pilot programme, launched by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 31, 2018, had deployed 100 solar PV-based induction stoves.
Ø Now , the government is working on scaling it up across the country.
Ø After the approval, EESL is likely to float a tender to procure a million units of induction stoves.
Ø Probably in the next couple of months, we will be able to come up with a scheme, he said.

Ø Since ONGC announced a competition for design of a SOLAR COOKER on 03 Nov 2017 , Sun has set and risen again and again, 1028 times
But that Cooker ( design won by IIT-B ), is nowhere to be seen !
ONGC had laid down rigid performance conditions - including a cost of Rs 10,000 / -
Dear Shri Goyalji,
> Yesterday, you urged the industry to come up with a " VIABLE and FAST, electric cooking systems so that
it can replace cooking gas which is an imported product. "
> How about " enthusing " the local industry to come forward to " Mass Produce " IIT-B designed Solar
Cookers ?
> Even if each Solar Cooker purchase was subsidized to the tune of 75 % ( max Rs 7,500 ), it would work
out cheaper than 40 % PERPETUAL SUBSIDY on LNG gas cylinders ( since subsidy proposed by me, is
only ONE TIME ) .
Ø Quite possibly, within 2 years , you would recover that LNG subsidy cost !
> As a finance-expert , you can calculate the " PAYBACK PERIOD / INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN /
INCREMENTAL CAPITAL-OUTPUT RATIO / BREAK-EVEN POINT etc " , better than anyone else
Dear Shri Goyalji ,
I urge you to announce this ( Subsidy ) decision before the sun sets today !
