HUBLI: Bharath Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) and M/s Vasavi Builders and Developers, Hubli, have signed an agreement for supplying ‘Gas on Tap’ (GOT) to an apartment being constructed on Gokul road in Hubli.

In a press release issued here on Wednesday, K Govind, Territory Manager, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited said that the ‘Gas on Tap’ was a new concept in North Karnataka region.

‘Use first and pay next’ is new concept of BPCL. Pioneering the provision of ‘Gas on Tap’ facility in India a few years ago, BPCL has revolutionised the way gas was supplied to the kitchens of the houses, he added.

He said that having won over the thousands of customers in the metros like New Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai, BPCL had entered Bangalore and Mangalore recently.

He said that with the GOT facility, customer would get advantages like enhanced safety, modern look for the kitchen andvalue addition to the flat.

Regarding the safety of GOT system, he said that cylinders were placed in separate room outside the building from where the pipes were connected to individual kitchens. A meter was installed in each kitchen to record the consumption of the fuel.

Besides, the system has an “auto cut-off’ facility which automatically halts the supply of gas immediately in case of leakage in pipes.

A control system is also attached outside all houses so that they can turn off the system during emergency and meters are also tamper proof, he added.
