Objectives: The major share of e-tailing in India comes from consumer electronics and apparels. But it is expected that share of apparels in e-tailing will decline. This paper is an attempt to find out the reasons for the same and suggest corrective measures. Methods/Statistical Analysis: In this paper we have carried out a survey of online shoppers in tri-city region comprising of Chandigarh, Panchkula and Mohali. Secondary data from various resources has also been collected in order to get the real perspective of online retail business in India. Findings: From the analysis of results it was found that primary reason for online shopping of apparels is the variety and heavy discounts offered by e-tailing companies. In case of apparels, it was found that people were facing certain hardships while shopping online because they were not able to make proper judgment of the garment’s quality, size, color etc. People are also not happy with the return policies of the e-tailing companies as well as companies take too long to deliver the products. Application/Improvements: Thus we can suggest that if companies want to increase their e-tailing market share they must localize their delivery system, thereby reducing the time to deliver products. They should also modify their return policies to make it more customers friendly.Keywords

Objectives: Household energy composition is generally looked upon as a concept associated with the income level of the household. Current study is an attempt to understand various factors that influence the phenomenon of fuel switching in rural India in general and Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh in particular. Methods/Statistical Analysis: For the purpose of the study primary data was collected to look upon the energy use pattern at household level with respect to the household size, income level of household, availability of various energy sources, prices of the alternate fuels sources, time taken to utilise different fuel sources, and household's accessibility to fuels. Findings: Study finds that despite major differentials in income at household level, the energy mix across income strata doesn't show any significant difference. Clean energy sources availability, affordability and cultural preferences are three major factors that still influence the household energy mix in Himalayan transact. Application/Improvements: Fuel switching approach needs a major rethinking and income based top down approach is highly desired.Keywords
