IOC brands convenient 5 kg LPG cylinder as ‘Chhotu’
The convenient 5 kg LPG cylinder has been rechristened ‘Chhotu’, the nation’s top oil firm Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) said on Friday.
The cylinders are available at various points of sale, including IOC petrol pumps, Indane LPG distributors and department (Kirana) stores and can be purchased by submitting just an ID proof. There is no requirement of address proof for obtaining these cylinders.
In a small virtual ceremony, IOC Chairman S M Vaidhya launched the market-priced ‘Chhotu’ 5-kg cylinders, which will be available pan India, the company said in a statement.
The 5-kg cylinder is hugely popular with low-income groups as well as young professionals and single people who do not either have the money or the requirement for the traditional 14.2-kg cylinder.
