There is also a decrease in cylinder booking
Cylinder booking has also decreased due to the applicable lockdown in the country due to the increasing corona.

Ujjwala customer monthly booking has come down to 20-25 percent.
The way of booking is going to change
Last year, some changes came into effect from 1 November 2020 regarding booking of cylinders. In which the booking of gas cylinder was OTP based, so that the booking system can be more secure and better. Now once again, preparations are being made to make LPG booking and delivery system much easier.
Cylinder can be filled from any gas agency
The government and oil companies are considering that the whole process of booking LPG gas and refills for consumers should be made easier and faster. As per the new rule, consumers should not depend on their own gas agency for LPG refill. Whatever other gas agency is close to him, get him refill his LPG cylinder. The government and oil companies will create an integrated platform for this.
