LPG on Instamart: The scope of quick commerce sector is increasing rapidly in India. In today’s time, whenever we need anything, we order it immediately and the goods reach home within minutes. Now the day is not far when if we suddenly run out of gas while cooking in the kitchen, we will also get the option to order LPG cylinder online.
To turn this into reality, the country’s leading government oil company HPCL (Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited) and quick commerce platform Swiggy Instamart have joined hands. Both have announced to start the country’s first on-demand Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinder delivery service. Through this, just as you order everyday items and grocery items online, in the future you will also be able to order LPG gas cylinders on-demand through the Swiggy Instamart app.
No need to worry about already having a connection
The biggest feature of this service is that it is not necessary for the customers to already have a domestic LPG connection to purchase a new cylinder.
When ordered for the first time, it will be considered as purchase of a new cylinder, in which some documents will be required for ID proof. Customers can request a refill as part of the subsequent order and the empty cylinder will be collected at the time of delivery.
Will be able to check the gas level in the cylinder
HPCL is preparing to launch ‘HP Navya’ under the partnership with Swiggy Instamart. This is a next generation 10 kg composite LPG cylinder, whose body will be transparent and 50% lighter than conventional LPG cylinders. In this you will be able to check from time to time what is the level of gas in the cylinder. Keeping in mind the different needs of the customers, 5 kg standard metal LPG cylinder will also be made available on the platform. This will be of great convenience to students, working people and small families, who generally do not have any formal gas connection.
Regarding this, Instamart CEO Amitesh Jha said, “Instamart has expanded its scope of service beyond grocery. In collaboration with HPCL, we are also providing this facility for an essential service at home and are making LPG available on Instamart following the standards of safety and trust.
What will be the pattern of delivery?
Orders placed through Instamart will be fulfilled by HPCL’s existing network of authorized distributors, while delivery will be done by the distributor’s trained staff as per safety and regulatory norms. This service has just been started as a pilot project in some selected areas of Bengaluru. It is expected to be started in other cities of the country soon.
