Indane will soon introduce small 5 kg liquefied petroleum gas, or LPG, cylinders through supermarkets and malls. The cylinder costs Rs. 1018 excluding the safety hose and regulator.
Speaking about this, a source from Indian Oil Corporation, or IOC, which owns Indane said, Of the total price of Rs. 1,018, Rs. 700 would go towards the cost of the cylinder and Rs. 318 for refill. This time, we are reaching out to the consumers. The price of the cylinder has also been reduced from Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 700.
The connections would be made available over the counter. Consumers can produce any government-approved ID proof and purchase the cylinders. Residential proof is not necessary. Since the cylinders are targeted at people who are not permanent residents of the city, there is a buyback offer whereby consumers can return the cylinder and get Rs. 500 for it.
Distributors say, The 5 kg cylinders were already available over the counter and are being opted for by roadside vendors and those residing in places like East Coast Road where there are no gas agencies nearby. These are cash and carry options.there is no home delivery.
