Yes, volume market. Tirupur (50km E) knitwear export hub and Coimbatore textile mills (LMW, Lakshmi Mills, Sri Kannapiran) drive bulk LPG demand for dye-house process heating, boiler firing, captive power generators.

Yes, by law in every region. Unlicensed gas work is illegal, uninsurable, and the installer can face criminal charges. Verify the licence: Gas Safe UK, TSSA Canada, Master Plumber Gas Australia, SAQCC Gas SA, state-licensed plumber US. The number should appear on the quote.
A document signed by a licensed installer confirming the gas appliance and connection are safe. Required for landlord rentals (annual in UK as CP12, varied elsewhere), insurance claims, and property sales. Always insist on the certificate as part of the work.
Yes, 2-3 quotes for gas work over ₹17,000. Compare licence numbers, appliance brand, certification inclusion, and warranty. The cheapest quote sometimes skips the pressure test or certificate, both of which are illegal omissions.
Typically travel time, fuel, the first 15-30 minutes on site, and basic diagnostic work. Most gas installers credit the call-out against the work if the customer proceeds. State explicitly on the quote.
