Agartala, Oct 22: Like every year, IndianOil celebrated 57th Indane Day on Saturday.

To mark the 57-year of operation, IndianOil organized a programme aiming to raise awareness around LPG and increase the visibility of the benefits of this exceptional green energy.

Conveying his best wishes to all Indane Customers, Shrikant Madhav Vaidya, Chairman IndianOil said, “We play an integral part in the progress of the country. I am an indane composite customer. Delhi has PNG in many parts but PNG cannot reach where Indane cylinders can reach. Indane supplies 27lakh cylinders daily which shows IndianOil’s spread and reach. This is our biggest strength.”

V Satishkumar, Director (Marketing) said, “It is an extraordinary achievement to deliver more than 27 lakh cylinders every day and count a customer base of 14.6 crore active customers. 57 years ago, people looked at LPG with fear and suspicion and today every second LPG Cylinder sold in the country is of Indane.”

The history of LPG in India can be traced to its marketing operations that commenced in 1955 at Mumbai, under the Burmah Shell Oil Company. It was a small, exclusive business then with distribution restricted to a handful of upmarket homes. It wasn’t till IndianOil took charge that LPG became a flourishing and recognisable industry.
