BPCL Pilots Ecommerce Grocery Delivery Alongside LPG Cylinders

BPCL is testing a new way to deliver more than fuel and cooking gas.

In parts of Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, customers may be able to order groceries and household items with LPG cylinders.

Some LPG dealerships are being used like small warehouses.

BPCL’s convenience stores at petrol stations may also pack and send orders.

The company hopes to use its existing locations instead of building many new warehouses.

Early results are promising, but orders are lower than BPCL first expected.

Quick-commerce companies are already competing in these product categories.

BPCL is also building a payment system for its HelloBPCL app.
