The Opportunity
Tea stalls, Chinese food vendors, and fried rice shops across Chennai are facing acute LPG shortages during the West Asia conflict, forcing them to close or rely on unpredictable cylinder availability. Street food vendors with 10–50 daily customers have zero backup supply chain and lose ₹500–1000 daily when cylinders run out.
Market Size₹45 Cr addressable market — 50,000 street food vendors in Tamil Nadu × ₹90,000 annual LPG spend × 10% willing to pay premium for guaranteed supply reliability
Why NowNo formal license required to resell LPG cylinders as an intermediary under GST (service supply, 5% tax).
