Get Composite LPG Cylinder instead of old cylinder
The best thing is that you can get your old steel cylinder replaced with a new composite cylinder. If you are an Indane customer, go to your gas agency with your steel cylinder. Along with this, keep the subscription paper for gas connection with you. The amount you have spent on getting the connection of your old cylinder will be deducted from the cost of the composite cylinder.
For example if you have paid Rs 2000 for Indane earlier. So you have to pay Rs 3350 - 2000 = Rs 1350 for composite cylinder. This price is for the 10 kg LPG Composite Cylinder. If you want to take 5 kg cylinder, then you have to pay 2150 - 2000 = 150 rupees.
