Don’t have a home LPG connection? You can still order gas cylinder from Instamart in Bengaluru | Check details | Today’s news
E-commerce platform Instamart has partnered with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) to introduce what the companies describe as India’s first on-demand LPG cylinder delivery service through the Instamart app, according to a press release.
Launched as a pilot project in Karnataka’s capital, Bengaluru, the initiative allows customers to order LPG cylinders directly through the Instamart app and have them delivered to their homes. The service was launched on July 15 in Bengaluru’s Subramanyapura area.
As part of the pilot, customers can choose between Navya HP’s recently introduced 10kg composite LPG cylinder and the company’s existing 5kg metal cylinder.
No existing LPG connection required
The service is also open to customers who do not yet have a domestic LPG connection.
First-time orderers will be required to complete identity verification and proof of delivery formalities before handing over the cylinder. Future purchases will be treated as refill orders, with the empty HPCL bottle collected during delivery.
The offer is aimed at students, working professionals, renters, small families and people living in temporary accommodation who require a compact gas stove solution.
The launch also marks the commercial launch of HPCL’s HP Navya 10kg composite LPG cylinder.
Designed as a lighter alternative to traditional steel bottles, the new product is corrosion resistant and has a translucent body that allows customers to check the remaining gas level. HPCL has positioned it as a practical option for apartments, smaller households and those looking for a secondary LPG cylinder.
Supplies through authorized HPCL distributors
As per the release, every order placed through Instamart will be fulfilled by HPCL’s network of authorized distributors. Deliveries will be made by trained personnel in compliance with all prescribed safety and regulatory requirements.
Speaking about the partnership, Instamart CEO Amitesh Jha said the company is expanding beyond food delivery into another core household category.
“Instamart has expanded its consumption cases far beyond food to become a part of everyday life. With HPCL, we extend this convenience to an essential household service, bringing LPG to Instamart while maintaining the standards of safety and reliability that consumers expect,” Jha said.
HPCL Director (Marketing) Amit Garg said the collaboration reflects the company’s efforts to adapt to changing consumer expectations through new distribution channels.
“Customer needs are evolving and HPCL is committed to providing innovative solutions to meet them. Through Instamart, we will be able to reach customers through a fast, convenient and digitally enabled platform, making HP Navya Composite LPG cylinders more affordable,” Garg said, according to Deccan Herald.
Garg further said that HPCL aims to make LPG more accessible to ‘Naya Bharat’ through trusted digital channels while improving the overall customer experience.
