The Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) on Thursday said that the consumers need not pay delivery charges to persons delivering gas cylinders.

“The responsibility of the gas distributor to deliver the gas cylinder at the doorstep of the consumer irrespective of the floor location in the building/flats without collecting any additional charge
