New ‘kid’ in town
There is a new player in town as far as LPG supplies go. So if you wondered where Mundo Gas went, now think E-Gas Limited that offers a total of 36 dealers from Jaffna to Batticaloa to Hambantota — with aims to expand further.

A strong reason why the company is going places is price: to fill a household cylinder is Rs. 920, a serious discount when compared with other players. But as Azlan Shah Mohamad Shah, E-Gas CEO, said: “We are not here to steal clients from other gas suppliers; we are looking to convert those still using wood to cook with.”

“The reason for our price is that we miss out the middle men. It’s E-Gas from the distribution plant to the dealer. And as we deal with both Malaysia’s Petronas and PTT in Thailand, the upstream supply line is always turned on,” he said. E-Gas is a firm with Malaysian investment. “We want to compliment the market, not be competitive. We work hard on increasing our efficiency so that we can pass the savings onto the customer.” So if you are looking to convert to gas, start looking out for orange cylinders at a hardware store near you.
