I am from India, and online gas booking is temporarily no longer available because waiting list is long now (we use gas cylinders, not piped gas here, and so have to book for cylinders to be delivered home when it becomes empty by use). Earlier, I used to get a cylinder within a day or two of booking, but now it is upto 2 weeks in my city. But I am well off, and can rely on electrical / induction stoves if need be. The really poor, who had been enticed to move away from firewoods to gas through free / highly subsidised cylinders are the ones feeling the real pain - they've gone back to using firewood now. Mid-day meal schemes in schools are also affected due to gas shortage and firewood is being used in some areas to ensure the poor students don't go hungry. Some restaurants and small-scale eateries that relied on gas for cooking too have gone back to using firewoods, because of government restrictions on gas usage.
I used to live in India myself. Is the electric grid ready for widespread use of induction cookers? Are the wires in peoples home the right gauge? My air conditioners and heaters cause the sockets they were plugged into to melt in a high rise apartment.
The electric grid is significantly more capable now, at least in South India. And both induction stoves and electric cookers are already quite popular. The only thing holding them back is the higher cost of electricity - gas is still way, way cheaper. Compliance to using proper gauge of wires and sockets of appropriate ratings unfortunately still depends on the individual, as government supervision of the same is lax.
