The Narendra Modi government at the Center has given a big relief to the customers using LPG cylinders. Actually, now customers will be able to choose their desired distributor. This means that now the customers will decide from which distributor they have to fill the gas cylinder. At present, customers are forced to get the gas cylinder filled from any one distributor.
In fact, some MPs in the Lok Sabha had asked whether LPG customers can decide from which distributor they have to refill the cylinder. On this question, Minister of State in the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Rameshwar Teli gave information about the new facility. He said that the LPG customer has been given the option to take the refill from the distributor of his choice. Now consumers can select the distributor to book the refill according to them.
How will it be implemented: The Minister of State for Petroleum has explained this facility in detail in his written reply. He said that using the registered login, the distributor can be selected through the mobile app or through the OMC web portal. Along with this, customers will also be able to see the rating of the distributor delivering the cylinder. This rating will be based on the past performance of the distributor. This means that you may be alerted in advance by a poorly rated distributor.
The minister said that along with the rating, the complete list of distributors will also be given on the mobile app or portal of the oil companies. For delivery of LPG refills, the customer can select any distributor from the list of his/her locality by just tapping or clicking on it. This facility has been started in some cities of the country but the government intends to implement it across the country.
