IOC ties up with Sahaj e-Village to sell 5-kg LPG cylinder

KOLKATA: Sahaj e-Village Limited has entered into an agreement with Indian Oil for selling 5-kg FTL (Free Trade LPG) Indane cylinders through its Common Service Centres (CSCs).

In a statement, Sahaj said this is for the first time that Indian Oil is venturing into a pan India tie-up with a private company for selling 5-kg Indane cylinders.

Oil companies are offering FTL cylinders to consumers at non-domestic rate.

"Sahaj has been the chosen one owing to their extensive rural network where LPG cylinders have the highest demand in place across the states of Assam, Bihar, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal," the statement said.

"We have one of the largest digitally-enabled networks in rural India. It commands 27,000 Common Service Centres (CSCs) making Sahaj the largest CSC player with 32 per cent share," Sahaj CEO Sanjay Panigrahi said.
