Missed call facility for LPG consumers launched in Digboi

DIGBOI: The Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas and Steel, Dharmendra Pradhan, in a step towards improving ease of living, launched from Bhubaneswar the facility of LPG refilling and new connection registration by giving a single missed call here on Friday to mark the dawn of the new year.

"Indian Oil's Indane LPG customers can use single missed call number 8454955555 for refill booking- for all India and for registering new connections. Currently, the option of registering new connections is available only in Bhubaneshwar and will soon be rolled out to the rest of the country," said Kishore Dutta, the DGM Corporate Communication IOC AOD Digboi.

Inaugurating the missed call facility and terming it as a new year gift to the country, Pradhan said, "It is the desire of the Prime Minister to ensure energy availability, accessibility, and affordability to the common man of the country," adding, "While our ministry has ensured LPG penetration in the country is now almost 99 per cent up from 55.9 per cent in 2014, we are now looking at making this kitchen-friendly fuel more accessible to all."
