Indane (LPG)
Indane is a Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) brand in India, owned and marketed by Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), a state-owned oil and gas company. It is primarily used as a cooking fuel in households and commercially. Indane cylinders are readily available in various sizes to cater to different consumption needs.
LPG, in general, is a mixture of hydrocarbon gases, primarily propane and butane. It is stored and transported in liquid form under pressure. When released, the liquid vaporizes into a gas that can be burned for heat.
Indane cylinders are distributed through a network of authorized distributors and dealers across India. Safety measures are implemented throughout the distribution process to minimize risks associated with handling flammable gas. Consumers are advised to adhere to safety guidelines provided by IOCL to ensure the safe use of Indane LPG. These guidelines cover areas such as proper ventilation, leak detection, and cylinder handling.
The widespread adoption of Indane LPG has contributed to reducing the reliance on traditional fuels like wood and kerosene for cooking, thereby improving indoor air quality and mitigating deforestation. Government policies and initiatives often support the use of LPG as a cleaner and more efficient cooking fuel.
