Petrol Pumps would sell cooking gas cylinders in India

Now, pick up your cooking gas cylinder with minimum fuss at a petrol pump. Five kg cylinders will now be available at selected company owned petrol pumps as part of a pilot scheme - and all you need is a valid identity card. For now the facility will initially be available in just 11 outlets in Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and Bangalore on a pilot basis.This is a new initiative from the government - cutting out some of the paper work and making it easier to get hold of an LPG gas cylinder. The cylinders are not subsidised - and the first cylinder would cost Rs 1000 plus taxes and regulator costs - and almost Rs 500 for a refill.

Rs 1000 for a 5Kg cylinder? :O Lootna hai toh direct daaka daal lo.

500 for the refill. 500 is basically the cost of the cylinder.
1000 rupees would mean 1120 in real life. 500 would mean 555 in real life.
At least the government should have enough shame to reveal actual prices.
