GUWAHATI: Instamart has expanded its quick-commerce offerings by partnering with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) to introduce on-demand LPG cylinder deliveries.

Through the Instamart app, customers can now order HPCL's 10 kg HP Navya composite LPG cylinder and the 5 kg LPG cylinder. The HP Navya cylinder is designed with a lightweight composite body and a transparent outer layer, enabling users to check the remaining gas level without additional equipment.
According to the companies, deliveries will be fulfilled through HPCL's authorised distributor network to ensure adherence to prescribed safety standards and regulatory guidelines.
The initiative is expected to benefit students, working professionals and smaller households by providing quicker access to cooking gas. Individuals seeking a new LPG connection can complete the required identity verification through the platform, while existing customers can place refill orders by returning their empty cylinders.
The partnership marks another step in Instamart's expansion beyond grocery and daily essentials, while enabling HPCL to strengthen its digital distribution network and improve access to LPG through the country's growing quick-commerce ecosystem.
