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.
