Caramella’s Achieves Over ₹4 Lakhs in Annual LPG Savings with the LPGenius Smart LPG System

Executive Summary

Caramella’s is a high-volume commercial bakery where continuous baking operations drive significant LPG consumption. The bakery previously relied on 19 kg VOT LPG cylinders, resulting in higher fuel usage and increased operating costs.

Pune Gas implemented the LPGenius Smart LPG System, enabling a transition to 47.5 kg LOT LPG cylinders. Post implementation, daily LPG consumption reduced from 48 kg to 36 kg, delivering direct savings of ₹1,200 per day. This translates to ₹36,000 per month and over ₹4,00,000 annually, without impacting baking output or product consistency.
