What is the Delivery Charge?
According to the Indian Oil website, customers can avail of the home delivery service for refills of the ‘Chhotu’ gas cylinder through designated ‘Points of Sale.’ However, for this service, they are required to pay an additional delivery fee of Rs 25 per refill. Customers can purchase the ‘Chhotu’ cylinder from any authorized Indane gas distributor, Indian Oil retail outlet, or select grocery stores and supermarkets. Refilling of the cylinder can also be done at any authorized Point of Sale or distributor across the country.

It is worth noting that if a customer purchases a cylinder from a Point of Sale and subsequently wishes to return it, the company refunds a fixed amount of Rs 500 per cylinder, regardless of how long the cylinder has been in use.
Prices Hiked by Rs 11
