Confidence Futuristic Energtech, a subsidiary of Confidence Petroleum, would market composite LPG cylinders in Kolkata from next month, a company official said.
Confidence Petroleum, a listed entity, is a major supplier of steel gas cylinders to oil PSUs for LPG retailing.
Prasenjeet Chatterjee, head (east zone) of Confidence Futuristic, claimed that the composite cylinders, made of a special category of plastics, were blast-proof and light-weight unlike steel cylinders.
