Good News for LPG Users: Now You Can Choose Gas Distributor of Your Choice, Know How

The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural gas informed in a statement that soon they are going to launch a new facility in which LPG customers can choose the distributor for refilling of LPG cylinders themselves. The customers can book LPG refill through a mobile app/ customer portal using registered login.  

The Union Ministry for Petroleum and Natural Gas said, “With this new facility, consumers can choose their “Delivering Distributor” from the list of distributors catering to their address within their Oil Marketing Company (OMC).” 

Customers can now avail portability to another distributor of the same company without visiting the distributorship.  

This facility will be launched shortly, and will be available in Chandigarh, Coimbatore, Gurgaon, Pune, and Ranchi in the pilot phase.  

The Ministry said, “The service will not only empower the customers by way of enhanced choice but also inspire healthy competition amongst the distributors to provide the best in class services to the customers, and improve their performance ratings.” 

How to Choose your LPG Gas Distributor? 

When a consumer will book LPG refill through mobile app/ customer portal using registered login, he/she will be shown a list of delivering distributors along with their performance ratings. The customer can opt for any of the distributors from the list applicable for his/her area to get an LPG delivery.
