The Common Service Centre (CSC), a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) under the Ministry of Electronics and IT, on Tuesday launched 2000 CSC Bharat Gas Supply Centres to facilitate fast delivery of LPG cylinders to consumers in rural India.

CSC has exclusively tied up with BPCL for this service where villagers will be able to book new LPG connections, government sponsored Ujjwala as well as general category, at CSC centres. They will also be able to do booking of LPG refills and CSC will be distrusting LPG cylinders.
