In its effort to provide easy access to LPG connections to the migrant workforce, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd launched 5-kg Free Trade LPG (FTL) here on Saturday.

Rahul Bhardwaj, ED TAPSO, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd, launched this facility at a company-owned and -operated facility in the hi-tech City.

The 5-kg cylinder option is aimed at helping youngsters and migrant workforce, whose consumption in minimal due to nature of job, to quickly secure LPG connection.

This category of customers are unable to avail new connection in view of absence of proper proof of address. In addition, due to highly irregular work timings, they are not able to visit the distributor in normal working time and not be present in the house when the cylinder is delivered.

Such customers are being encouraged to avail 5-kg FTL with only ID proof and without any other documentation.

The refills for 5-kg FTL are available round the clock and can be availed anywhere in the country. Since there is no security deposit, the ownership of the equipment is with the customer.
