Electricity and household appliances

Historical NFHS-5 survey estimates for 2019–21; do not label these as current 2026 asset access or substitute them into NFHS-6. Values in this series describe households. The separate deJurePopulationPercent field is the percentage of usual-resident people in such households and can differ. Pucca is the survey’s materials-based classification, not a certificate of legal tenure, structural safety, floor area or housing affordability. Clean cooking fuel includes electricity, LPG/natural gas and biogas. The reported fuel measure does not establish exclusive use, refill affordability or the absence of other fuels. Basic sanitation means use of an improved facility not shared with another household; it is not a measure of sewage treatment or safely managed sanitation. Possession of an asset does not count devices, establish device quality or usage, or prove a person can use it. Ownership of a house is the survey response, not a title-registry audit.

Provisional NFHS-6 estimates for the 2023–24 round; fieldwork May 2023–December 2024; Manipur excluded. Not 2026 administrative counts. Household-based and person-based indicators have different denominators. Each indicator retains its published universe. Improved drinking-water source is a source-type classification, including specified piped, protected and packaged sources. It does not by itself establish water quality testing, uninterrupted supply or safely managed service. Electricity presence is different from reliability, hours of supply and affordability. An account held by any household member is different from individual access or usage. NFHS-5 totals are shown only as printed by NFHS-6. Round comparisons need attention to changed coverage and definitions; do not mix a household share with a person share.
