The Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) has rolled out new smart Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) cylinders, Indane Composite Cylinders, which will allow customers to plan their next refill easily. This smart cylinder will also let customers how much gas is left and how much has been spent.
This cylinder has a three-layered construction and is made up of a blow-moulded High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) inner liner, covered with a composite layer of polymer-wrapped fibreglass and fitted with an HDPE outer jacket. The second layer is a composite layer of polymer-wrapped fibreglass and the third and last layer to the LPG composite cylinder is an HDPE outer jacket.
At present, these smart cylinders are available at select distributors in New Delhi, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Faridabad and Ludhiana in 5 kg and 10 kg sizes. The IOCL has announced that these cylinders will soon be available across the nation.
