What is an Indane Gas Connection?

A domestic LPG consumer having an Indane connection can obtain LPG cylinders from an authorized Indane distributor.

The domestic cylinder most commonly used is a steel cylinder of 14.2 kg. Indane also offers smaller 5 kg cylinders and composite LPG cylinders in select markets.

When a customer takes a normal domestic connection, the cylinder itself is not bought on a permanent basis. A refundable security deposit is taken for the cylinder and regulator which are part of the LPG connection.

This is significant as many people think that the total cost of getting an Indane connection is ₹2,200.

No it is not.

Usually, the first refill and certain service or accessory charges are added separately.

14.2 kg Cylinder Deposit	₹2,200
Pressure Regulator Deposit	₹250

Why Does Indane LPG Cost Differ From City to City?

Domestic LPG is not priced the same way everywhere in India.

Final retail price may vary based on transportation, local market factors and applicable charges.

And that is why a cylinder in Delhi may be priced a little differently from one supplied in Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai or for that matter any other city.

Hence, consumers should look at the price that is displayed during the booking of the refill, instead of an old LPG rate found on the net.

Single Cylinder Connection vs Double Cylinder Connection

A new customer can generally opt for a single cylinder connection and a double cylinder connection depending on the availability and eligibility.

With one LPG-cylinder connection the customer has one LPG-cylinder.

Having a double cylinder connection gives the household an additional cylinder for backup. This is helpful for families who use LPG regularly and do not want to be left waiting for a refill when the first cylinder runs out.

For a double cylinder connection, refundable security deposit for the extra cylinder is also applicable.

If the deposit for one 14.2 kg cylinder is ₹2,200, then the cylinder security deposits for two cylinders will be ₹4,400, besides the regulator and other charges.
