New Delhi, July 15 (Inditop.com) Oil companies will soon be preparing detailed plans to increase the number of cooking gas connections, especially in rural areas, by 55 million by 2015.
Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas Jitin Prasada gave the instruction Wednesday at a meeting with the marketing directors of the three state-owned oil marketing companies, Indian Oil Corp, Hindustan Petroleum Corp and Bharat Petroleum Corp.
Prasada said the three companies had to prepare a year-wise and state-wise road map for attracting new customers as targeted by the ministry’s Vision 2015 paper.
He said if the target of 55 million new customers was met, it would increase the coverage to 75 percent of the country’s population.
A ministry statement said the focus would be on those states which have very low LPG coverage, so that more rural areas are covered.
Prasada also said issues like customer satisfaction and service delivery of petroleum products had be addressed immediately.
