New Delhi: To help improve service, state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) will allow their customers to choose the domestic cooking gas distributor for liquified petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder refills.
India had 28.74 crore LPG consumers as on 1 January, 2021. This move comes in the backdrop of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, a government programme that aims to provide free cooking gas connections to poor families increasing India’ LPG coverage to 99.5% on 1 January this year from 61.9 % as on 1 April 2016.
Ministry of petroleum and natural gas in statement on Thursday said, “it has been decided to allow LPG customers to have a choice deciding which distributors they want their LPG refill from.
