LPG Price in Odisha

The LPG price in Odisha is mainly determined by the state-run oil companies and the same is subject to change on a monthly basis based on the global crude fuel rates. The rise in crude oil leads to a rise in the LPG rates in Odisha and vice-versa. LPG is a safe and colourless gas and hence its use has tremendously increased in the domestic and industrial sector. The government of India is currently providing domestic LPG Gas cylinder (14.2 kgs) in Odisha at subsidized rates to the low-income section of the society. The subsidy amount will be directly transferred to the customer’s bank account. Currently, the cooking gas in India is easily accessible to most of the people.

What does the marking on an LPG cylinder indicate?

The markings present on an LPG cylinder indicates the next due date for testing purpose. Usually, all the cylinders are checked periodically and will undergo inspection and testing and the same is segregated at the bottling plants and statutory testing is undertaken via approved contractors. Once the testing is done and if the cylinders are found suitable for refilling or for re-usage the same is either painted or stencilled marking with the next due date on the vertical stays of the cylinder with a sole intention for easy identification. These markings on the cylinder indicate the next due date for testing.

For example: If an LPG cylinder is marked as A 2017, it means that it is due for testing during the first quarter that is the period between January and March of the year 2017. If it is marked as B 2017, it means that it is due for testing during the second quarter that is between April and June of the year 2017. If it has C as marking then it stands for July and September that is third quarter and D stands for the fourth quarter between October and December.
