Amid the LPG shortage in India and refill delays, several people have now started downloading the IndianOil ONE app to book their cooking gas and keep an eye on its booking status. You won’t believe it, but the app has now taken the top spot on the Google Play Store, replacing ChatGPT!

IndianOil ONE Is The Most Downloaded App On Google Play Store 

ChatGPT is OpenAI’s artificial intelligence chatbot and a popular all-in-one AI platform. People use it for web searches or when they are looking for answers to even the simplest queries. The app has been downloaded millions of times since it launched on mobile platforms and was at the top spot on the Google Play Store’s free apps chart. But now, according to a report by India.com, the app has been replaced by none other than the IndianOil ONE app.

The reason? Since India is currently experiencing an LPG shortage and there have been refill delays, many people are downloading this app to book their cooking gas and track deliveries. This is why the app has now reached the number one ranking.

According to a report by Moneycontrol, Google Play Store chart data shows IndianOil ONE at the top position with a 4.4 rating, while ChatGPT now holds the second position with a 4.6 rating. It has become one of the most downloaded apps in India this week.
