Rs 9000 for a New LPG Connection? Here’s Why Two Small Cylinders Can Cost This Much

A regular 14.2 kg domestic LPG connection usually costs much less. Indian Oil charges a Rs 2,200 security deposit for the cylinder. You pay Rs 250 for the pressure regulator. The company takes Rs 118 for installation and Rs 118 for the demo. The customer card costs Rs 59. You might also pay extra for the safety tube.

A new regular connection costs around Rs 3,000 in total. But some distributors in Tamil Nadu are charging between Rs 9,100 and Rs 9,250 for the alternative setup. DT Next reported this massive price difference for two 10 kg composite cylinders.

You must note one important thing here. The Rs 9,100 to Rs 9,250 amount is not the price of a single cylinder. Distributors are quoting this total initial cost for the alternative setup with two composite cylinders. Indian Oil lists the security deposit for a 10 kg composite cylinder separately. You should not confuse the refill price, security deposit, and other new connection charges.
