    The plant would have an annual capacity of 45 metric tonnes, around 12,000 cylinders per day.

    According to the official, the total project cost would be 80 crore and the facility would generate 100 jobs both direct and indirect.

    The plant would serve districts like Dindigul, Madurai, Virudhunagar, Sivagangai and Ramanathapuram, he said.

    The initiative was part of the company's mission to enhance efficiency and convenience to serve the customers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The statement said the company has 416 domestic LPG distributorships and seven in Puducherry supplying 1,22,000 cylinders daily.
