To get a new Indane LPG connection in 2026, applicants must complete KYC, provide valid identity and address proof, and meet IndianOil's application requirements. The cost includes the applicable security deposits for the LPG cylinder and pressure regulator, along with other charges where applicable. Applicants can use IndianOil's online LPG services or approach an authorised Indane distributor, depending on the available application route.
This guide covers eligibility, the application process, required documents and connection charges. It also explains how to use IndianOil's online services for refill booking and payments after the connection is activated.
Who is Eligible for a New Indane LPG Connection?
A household can apply for a new domestic Indane LPG connection if it does not already have an LPG connection from any public-sector oil company and has a separate cooking area. Applicants must provide valid identity and residence proof and meet IndianOil's applicable requirements.
Eligibility criteria
- Existing LPG connection: IndianOil's published guidance says the household must not already have an LPG connection from a public-sector oil company, such as Indane, Bharatgas or HP Gas.
- Separate cooking area: The home must have a separate cooking area for the domestic connection.
- Identity and address proof: Applicants must submit the documents IndianOil accepts for identity and residence verification.
- Ration card requirements: IndianOil's FAQ states that a ration card is mandatory for new domestic LPG connections in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, as required by those state governments.
- PNG connection: If your household has a piped natural gas (PNG) connection, check the latest government rules before applying for a domestic LPG connection. Under the amendment notified on 25 May 2026, domestic LPG consumers who subsequently obtain PNG can terminate their LPG connection within 30 days or obtain a transfer voucher for future restoration in a non-PNG area.
For a regular domestic Indane connection, confirm the current requirements with IndianOil or your local distributor before applying.

Indane Gas New Connection Fees and Charges in 2026
For a standard 14.2 kg Indane domestic LPG connection, the initial payment includes the cylinder and regulator security deposits, along with applicable connection and equipment charges. The first LPG refill is charged separately at the prevailing local price.
- Cylinder security deposit: ₹2,200 in most parts of India and ₹2,000 in the specified North-Eastern states. This is a refundable security deposit.
- Regulator security deposit: ₹250 in most parts of India and ₹200 in the specified North-Eastern states. This is also a refundable security deposit.
- Installation and demonstration: ₹118 where the tariff charge applies. IndianOil specifies exceptions for some online and showroom transactions, so do not present this as a charge payable in every case.
- DGCC booklet: ₹59 for the Domestic Gas Customer Card/booklet.
- Suraksha LPG hose: You may need to pay ₹170 for a 1.2 m hose or ₹190 for a 1.5 m hose if you take the distributor-supplied hose. If you already have an approved hose that meets the applicable requirements, this equipment charge may not apply.
- Hotplate inspection: ₹236 applies when you present an existing stove for inspection, where the tariff requires it. It is not a charge for every new connection.
- First refill: The refill is separate from the connection deposits and other charges and is billed at the prevailing LPG price for your location.
The final amount therefore depends on the charges applicable to your connection and the equipment you take. However, always check the latest IndianOil LPG Connection Tariff and the amount quoted by the authorised Indane distributor before payment.
