How do I select the quantity and type of LPG gas cylinder I need?

LPG cylinders in India come in various sizes to cater to different needs. The 5 kg and 14.2 kg cylinders are primarily designed for domestic use and make up nearly 90% of all gas distributed. These sizes are ideal for most households, with the 5 kg cylinder suited for small families or those with limited storage space, while the 14.2 kg cylinder is standard for average households.

For industrial and commercial purposes, larger cylinders are available. The 19 kg cylinder serves as a transition between domestic and commercial use, suitable for small businesses or large families. The 47.5 kg and 425 kg Jumbo cylinders are specifically marketed for industrial and commercial consumption, catering to restaurants, hotels, and other businesses with high gas requirements.

When selecting a cylinder, consider your usage patterns, storage capacity, and whether it's for home or business use. Most domestic consumers find the 14.2 kg cylinder meets their needs, offering a balance between frequency of refills and ease of handling. Always ensure you're purchasing from authorised distributors to guarantee safety and quality.
