LPG ATMs: Revolutionizing Gas Cylinder Access Amid West Asia War Supply Tightness
•LPG ATMs are automated vending machines dispensing cooking gas cylinders, aiming for faster, 24/7 access without booking or delivery delays.
•Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) installed an LPG ATM in Gurugram, part of a broader push to modernize fuel distribution.
•These kiosks allow customers to exchange empty cylinders for filled ones in minutes, reducing waiting time and human intervention.
•The process involves entering a mobile number, OTP verification, placing an empty cylinder, digital payment, and collecting a filled one.
•Major public sector oil companies like BPCL, IOC, and HPCL are deploying these ATMs, currently in pilot phases in Gurugram, Delhi-NCR, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Karnataka.
