Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited has launched India’s first 24x7 LPG ATM in Gurugram as a pilot initiative to modernise LPG distribution. The automated kiosk allows consumers to quickly exchange empty cylinders for filled ones within a few minutes, eliminating dependency on delivery schedules. It uses lightweight, transparent composite cylinders that enable users to monitor gas levels easily. The system operates digitally, requiring OTP-based verification and supporting payments via UPI or cards. This innovation enhances convenience, ensures round-the-clock accessibility, and represents a significant step towards digitisation and efficiency in the energy distribution sector.
