Getting a new LPG connection is now easier than ever. Households across India can apply online for a cooking gas connection from major providers like Indane, Bharat Gas, and HP Gas without visiting multiple offices. An LPG connection offers safer cooking, convenience, and subsidy benefits for eligible consumers through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) scheme .
What is a New LPG Connection?
A domestic LPG connection provides cooking gas to your home. The main decision is choosing between Single Cylinder and Double Cylinder connections.
Single Cylinder vs Double Cylinder Connection
Single Cylinder Connection: This includes one LPG cylinder. It’s suitable for small families and individuals, with a lower initial cost.
Double Cylinder Connection: This provides two cylinders (one active, one reserve). It’s ideal for larger families, ensuring you have cooking gas available without waiting when one cylinder becomes empty .
Approximate Connection Charges (2026)
Charges vary by company and location. Here are approximate figures for a 14.2 kg domestic connection:
| Component | Indane | Bharat Gas | HP Gas |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cylinder Security Deposit (per unit) | ₹2,200 | ₹1,450 | ₹2,200 |
| Regulator Deposit | ₹250 | ₹150 | ₹250 |
| Single Cylinder Total (approx.) | ₹3,000 – ₹4,000 | ₹2,800 – ₹3,200 | ~₹4,030 |
