Indian LPG Customers’ Can Now Pay Online for Cylinder Refils


Now, LPG users can pay online for their cylinder refills on the website www.mylpg.in soon after booking their refill for delivery.
This is the latest part of the online refill booking facilities that the three public sector oil marketing companies have introduced in the past two years.
The facility was launched here on Sunday by Dharmendra Pradhan, Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas. Pradhan said his ministry is also considering creating an EMI payment model for new gas connections bought by non-bpl customers. The ministry is already running a pilot programme that gives a 50 per cent government rebate to below poverty line families when they buy their first gas connection.
In addition, to improve the supply chain, the government is working towards adding ten thousand more LPG distributing agencies, Pradhan added. Customers who buy domestic LPG cylinders from Indian Oil Corporation, Hindustan Petroleum and Bharat Petroleum can use the unified web portal to book cylinder refills, track delivery status, port the gas connection and receive the government subsidy by linking their bank accounts.
The digitisation of the supply chain is also intended to increase the efficiency of LPG distributors.
