Direct deliveries increase access to cleaner energy in Bangladesh
4/23/2026 •
Petromax LPG, Bangladesh
Across the globe, SHV Energy works to expand access to safe and cleaner off-grid energy. This is particularly important in Bangladesh, where many households still depend on more polluting fuels such as coal and biomass.
LPG offers a practical alternative. It produces far lower greenhouse gas emissions and very low particulate matter.
Higher air quality means healthier people and progress for the environment.
Petromax LPG is helping accelerate this transition by making LPG more convenient and easier to access. In 2025, the company introduced direct cylinder deliveries alongside sales through local retail outlets. Cylinders are sold at government-approved prices and installed by trained professionals who guide customers on safe handling and usage.
Today, Petromax operates 31 direct delivery shops, including five focused exclusively on serving end customers.
“Direct delivery has changed the LPG landscape in Bangladesh. We are the first to bring customers the level of service they deserve.”
