Ranchi eateries embrace coal chulhas: Cheaper fuel, better taste, growing demand

Ranchi's eateries are embracing traditional coal chulhas, a shift initially prompted by LPG shortages. Owners find coal significantly cheaper, slashing daily fuel costs by over half, making operations more profitable. This move is also attracting customers with the unique smoky flavor of coal-cooked food, boosting business for both eateries and chulha sellers.
