The petroleum minister releasing a video on his Twitter profile said, “Fueling Traceability! A remarkable innovation - this QR Code will be pasted on existing cylinders & welded on new ones - when activated it has the potential to resolve several existing issues of pilferage, tracking & tracing & better inventory management of gas cylinders.”

In the video, which is from the World LPG Week 2022 event taking place in Uttar Pradesh, Puri interacts with officials and asks about the viability of the concept. The machine-readable optical labels known as QR (Quick Response) codes are a digital solution that provide information about the object they are affixed to.

Why was it required?

According to sources, 20,000 of the initial batch of LPG were given the code, and all 14.2 kg household cylinders will receive the code in the coming months. In an effort to improve customer service, the programme is anticipated to address difficulties with theft, provide security for cylinders, have information on their safety tests, and have information on where it was bottled, among other things.

At the event, Puri spoke about the importance of access to affordable, clean energy, stating that supporting innovations in the LPG energy mix, efficiency, conservation, bio-LPG, synthetic LPG, etc., would promote positive growth and advance efforts to combat climate change.
