5-kg mini LPG cylinders will now be available at select petrol pumps and neighborhood grocery stores besides regular gas agencies in almost all major cities. Till now, cooking gas (LPG) was available for domestic use in 14.2-kg cylinders only from gas agencies. Consumers were entitled to 12 such bottles in a year at subsidized rate.
Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan used the `Good Governance Day` to relaunch the scheme at more outlets across the country.
"This is not a new scheme but we are now rebranding and re-launching it with an elaborate marketing plan so as to make available environment friendly fuel to people," he said on the occasion.
