Average Cylinders Sold/Day (12.5kg) |
Profit Per Cylinder (₦) |
Daily Profit (₦) |
Monthly Profit (₦) |
Yearly Profit (₦ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Ton Mini Plant |

10-Ton Plant |
400 | 300 | 120,000 | 3,600,000 | 43,200,000 |
20-Ton Plant |
800 | 300 | 240,000 | 7,200,000 | 86,400,000 |
Note: These figures assume steady sales and a profit margin between ₦250 and ₦300 per 12.5kg cylinder. Actual results may vary based on location, depot price, and customer demand.

Additional Cost Considerations
While profit looks attractive, remember to factor in recurring costs like:
- Staff salaries (₦150,000 – ₦300,000 monthly)
- Electricity/diesel for running pumps and lighting
- Depot transportation (₦200,000 – ₦400,000 monthly)
- DPR/NMDPRA annual renewals
- Maintenance and safety inspections
After deducting these, a 5-ton plant can still clear between ₦1.2 million and ₦1.5 million net monthly profit, not bad for a steady, sustainable business.
In The End,
Cooking gas plant business is not a “get-rich-quick” investment, but it’s one of the most stable and future-proof ventures in Nigeria’s energy sector.
