ADNOC Distribution has further extended the deadline for the sale of LPG cylinders in Abu Dhabi through Rahal e-Gas cards to 30 September, 2015. The move is intended to provide enhanced convenience to consumers and allow more time for the processing of customer applications.
Following the close of deadline, ADNOC Distribution will continue to issue Rahal e-Gas for beneficiaries starting from 1 October with an additional fee of Dh50 that will be deducted from the first time application charge of Dh200. The remaining balance on the Rahal e-Gas card can be used for the purchase of LPG cylinders.
Abdulla Salem Al Dhaheri, chief executive officer of ADNOC Distribution, said the decision will help further regulate the sale of LPG cylinders through the use of Rahal e-cards in the emirate of Abu Dhabi. "Our efforts are aligned to the UAE's vision of migrating all functions to smart platforms, a move that will eventually benefit our end-users," he said.
The new monthly quotas set by ADNOC Distribution for subsidised LPG cylinders purchased via the Rahal e-Gas scheme permit Emirati families to purchase Dh150 worth of LPG cylinders, while the limit is Dh70 for single Emirati citizens, while for resident expat families the quota has been set at Dh70 while for single expat residents at Dh40. Currently, ADNOC Distribution provides registration and issuance of Rahal e-Gas cards across all of its Rahal centres, including ADNOC Distribution's Head Office in Abu Dhabi, Rahal centres at the Airport Road service station, Musaffah station and Khalifa City station.
Customers can also apply for e-Gas cards, at the Al Ain Regional Office and Western Region centre in Madinat Zayed. The cards are available across 139 different service stations across the emirate of Abu Dhabi, 81 of them are in Abu Dhabi city, 39 in Al Ain and 19 in the Western Region. Meanwhile, consumers can also continue to buy LPG cylinders by paying in cash, or by using credit cards at non-subsidised rates.
