After groceries and other essential items, consumer will now be able to book their gas cylinders and get the delivery at their doorsteps using the quick commerce platform Swiggy Instamart. The leading quick commerce firm has partnered with the Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) to launch India's first on-demand LPG cylinder delivery service through the online platform.
This initiative now brings the household cooking essential into the instant delivery ecosystem and marks the launch of HPCL's new 'HP Navya' 10 kg Composite LPG cylinder on Instamart.
Launch in Bengaluru
The service will first launch in Bengaluru, allowing customers to order the 'HP Navya,' a next-generation composite LPG cylinder designed for modern homes. This cylinder is lightweight, rust-resistant, and offers superior convenience.
Metal cylinder in transparent body
The 10 kg cylinder will come in a metal body but transparent to allow customers to easily check the gas level. Its compact design makes it suitable for apartments, small families, working individuals, students and households that want a convenient alternative to LPG. Along with HP Navya, Instamart will also offer HPCL's 5 kg metal LPG cylinder.
No LPG connection required
A unique feature of this service is that customers do not need to have a pre-existing domestic LPG connection to place an order.
The first purchase will be treated as a new cylinder, while subsequent orders will be treated as refill requests, requiring customers to return the empty HPCL cylinder upon delivery.
Amitesh Jha, CEO of Instamart, said, "Instamart has expanded its services beyond groceries to become a part of everyday life. With HPCL, we are extending that convenience to an essential home service and bringing LPG to Instamart, while maintaining the standards of safety and reliability that customers expect."
