Niti Aayog pushes for methanol as cooking fuel  Economic Times (India) 16 December 2018.

Niti Aayog - the former Planning Commission, the new name means Policy Venture or something like that - has something to at last, after a mix of good and bad energy policy advice. 

The interesting part is the commercial ("hotels") market and large-scale fuel production. 

" A senior government official told ET work is on full swing to introduce methanol-run cooking stoves. “After Assam, we are eyeing Uttar Pradesh and then Maharashtra to provide such stoves in households. 

Simultaneously, we have tied up with some hotels in Bengaluru to use methanol stoves,” said the official, requesting not to be identified. “Next in line would be big temples, gurdwaras and ashrams where cooking is done on a massive scale daily.” There was a pilot launch of methanol stoves in Assam in October. "

Until methanol is consumed orally. I don't know if inhaling causes any damage. So long as it is not picked up by Kirk Smith's monitors as PM2.5, I guess it's safe.
