You can buy a cooking gas cylinder for Rs.750..!? How?
The price of cooking gas cylinders continues to increase, which is an additional cost to the middle class and poor people in their monthly budget. In this situation, Indane Gas Company, which is operating under the indian Oil Company, has also introduced composite gas cylinders. These composite gas cylinders are provided for domestic use only.
The composite cylinder will be slightly lighter than the 14.2 kg cylinders currently in use. It is filled with 10 kg embers. And you can see how much smoke it will have. This cylinder is also available in 5 kg weight. The composite gas cylinder will not be made of iron as it is now. It comes in rolls made of fiber. So it weighs less. Some places look like glass. Doesn't get dirty like old cylinders. These cylinders are sturdy and safe.
The composite gas cooking cylinder is now available only in 28 cities including Chennai, Delhi, and Mumbai. Indane Company has decided to introduce this cylinder service across the country soon. There is no subsidy for composite cooking gas cylinders weighing 10 kg. The subsidy will be provided for a composite cooking gas cylinder weighing 5 kg. Those who want to buy composite cooking gas cylinders will have to pay a separate deposit fee for the same. 3350 rupees for a 10 kg cylinder and 2150 rupees for a 5 kg cylinder.
Those who already have an Indane cooking gas connection can return their old steel cylinders and get composite cylinders at an additional cost. Composite cylinders will be delivered to your home just like existing gas cylinders through Indane distributors. A subsidized cylinder weighing 14.2 kg is now being sold for over Rs 1000. This 10 kg cylinder is now available for Rs 750. Its price is also subject to fluctuation.
