LPG connection in Surat – Is HP Gas charging too much? Bharat Gas or Indane?
​
I applied for a Bharat Gas connection almost 7 months ago but never got any response. Recently, I finally received a call saying that new Bharat Gas connections are currently on hold.
I then applied for HP Gas, and surprisingly, they contacted me the same day. However, they told me they only provide a 10 kg cylinder (I think it's called Navya), and the initial cost would be ₹5,000, with refills costing around ₹1,600.
Is this normal? It seems quite expensive to me, especially for just 10 kg. Has anyone used this cylinder? Is it worth getting, or should I try Indane instead?
Also, I already have an HP Gas cylinder that came with the house when I purchased it. It's not officially registered in my name. Is there any way to transfer or regularise this cylinder and get refills legally, instead of buying a completely new connection?
Would appreciate any advice, especially from people in Surat who have recently taken a new LPG connection.
