device sector to meet domestic requirements and also pave the way for
export-oriented growth of the sector. The session also focused on understanding
supply chain challenges with respect to specific components of clean
cooking devices, their design and manufacturing capabilities that can be easily
scaled up locally, current challenges of standards development,
policy/regulations and how the same can be enabled, and lastly the
