IN PICS! LPG cylinders will be delivered in just 30 minutes after booking, check out details

Generally, after booking a domestic LPG gas cylinder, one has to wait for at least two to four days for the cylinder to arrive. But now you don't have to wait for two-four days for the cylinder after booking the gas. So in just 30-40 minutes after booking, the cylinder will be delivered at your doorstep.

. Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) is planning to roll out a Tatkal LPG Seva in a bid to ensure that consumers get cooking gas cylinder on the day it is booked.

“Every state/union territory should identify at least one prominent city/district were Tatkal LPG Seva can be rolled out for LPG SBC (single bottle cylinder) consumers in that area. Under this scheme, we will ensure delivery of LPG cylinder to our consumers within a span of 30/45 minutes from the time of booking,” a note from IOCL’s top management said.

The initiative, while still being finalised, is a part of IOCL’s efforts to improve its offering and improve the ‘ease of living’ in line with the motto set by the Centre.

“This service will act as a differentiator as compared to our competitors and will greatly enhance IOCL’s customer centric approach,” the note added.

According to officials in the know, the service is like to be soon rolled out and the initial target for it was as early as February 1. IndianOil markets its LPG cylinders through the Indane brand. It serves around 14 crore (of the total 28 crore) domestic LPG consumers in the country.

“The existing delivery network of dealers will be utilised for this tatkal scheme. Some finer details of the project are yet to be worked out such as a premium, if any, that will be charged from consumers for this single day delivery service,” the official added.
