HPCL, IOCL launch 5kg, 10kg LPG cylinders in Chennai

HPCL and IOCL have introduced new 5kg and 10kg composite LPG cylinders in Chennai to improve consumer convenience. These lightweight, corrosion-free cylinders are designed for easier handling and are supported by new digital booking and express delivery services.
Why it matters
The shift toward lightweight, transparent composite cylinders and express delivery reflects a modernization of essential utility services for urban households.
HP Gas customers in the city can now buy the more convenient composite liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders, as the company has launched the cylinders in 5 kg and 10 kg variants for consumers.
Company sources said that initially, the lightweight and corrosion-free HP Navya cylinders will be made available in Kilpauk, Anna Nagar, Meenambakkam, and Velachery. “Consumers can see the quantum of cooking gas inside the cylinder. It is way lighter than the regular steel cylinders and can be handled easily by everyone. We will expand HP Navya to other areas in a phased manner,” a company official said.
Three agencies — Sri Ganesh Gas Service, Kilpauk; Annai Meenakshi, Anna Nagar; and Savitha Gas, Adambakkam — will stock and deliver these variants.
