Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan launched the facility in New Delhi.

The facility will be simultaneously launched at Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Chandigarh, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Patna and Pune.

All state-run fuel retailers are joining the e-tail bandwagon with a web-based system for selling new LPG connections.
