Superior Kerosene Oil (SKO) has been approved for distribution under the Public Distribution System across 21 States and Union Territories to enhance energy access for vulnerable populations. It is a highly refined fraction of crude oil with reduced impurities like sulphur, ensuring safer and efficient use.
SKO serves as an affordable fuel for cooking and lighting, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas where access to cleaner fuels remains limited. The initiative aims to strengthen energy security and support low-income households.
