The minister of state for petroleum & natural gas Mr RPN Singh informed the Lok Sabha today said that no case of irregularity by the officers of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited in the grant of certification of LPG cylinders has come to the notice of the Government.

BPCL, along with other Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies, has no role in the process of certification of LPG cylinders.

The certification of new LPG cylinders at manufacturer’s premises is done by Bureau of Indian Standards before dispatch to LPG bottling plants. Strict control is exercised by BIS over the manufacturing process.
