Further to the successful pilot launched in March 2018, Indian Oil has started its unique initiative for door -to-door delivery of diesel through mobile dispensers. To meet the fuel demands in the industrial, mining, rural and remote sectors, Indian Oil is rapidly expanding its fleet of mobile dispensers through its pan – India network of RO dealers. To further strengthen the reach, they are also looking to tie-up with relevant start ups engaged in the business, and is shortly commencing process of their enrolment.
This novel concept of reaching diesel to customers’ premises through Start-ups has been conceived by the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, in line with Government’s initiative to promote Start – Ups for engaging new entrepreneurs in innovative business solutions. Over the last two years, Indian Oil’s mobile dispensers have been catering to various segments of Diesel end users. Through the mobile dispensing units, Indian Oil was the first to reach the areas affected by cyclone in Odisha in May 2019 and speedily restore the supply of petroleum products. At these mobile dispensing units, they will also provide remote control and ease of payment through digital modes. Further to address the concerns of pilferage, the dispensing units have been automated, allowing only delivery of diesel to authorized customers. The introduction of the door -to -door service shall be yet another step towards customer convenience, more so in today’s day and time, when there is restricted movement and limited access available to a large part of the populace.
