Government to launch LPG 'SAHAJ' online connection scheme today
New Delhi: The Petroleum and Natural Gas Ministry will launch SAHAJ online LPG connections to give more convenience to new LPG consumers. Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan will be launching the facility in the national capital on Sunday.
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 would be joining the e-tail bandwagon with a web-based system for selling new LPG connections. The new system would be available on the websites of each oil company and the government's LPG portal, Pahal. This will allow prospective consumers online filling of application form for a new connection.
The system will then automatically detect a dealer best suited for the consumer and email or message a customer ID number within 48 hours of applying.
