A few months back, Indian Oil Corporation, the country’s largest petroleum company, announced first-of-its-kind home delivery of fuel in India. The service started from Pune, Maharashtra, followed by other cities as well. Called the ‘doorstep delivery of fuel’ and as per a report on the internet, the company has now started providing their services in the city of Chennai as well. There is also an image of the fuel dispenser surfacing online.
The dispenser looks like a regular fuel dispenser at petrol pumps and will dispense the fuel in a regular way through the fuel stored in the tanker, which in this case is only diesel. Being diesel-only service means the move will benefit large fleets of commercial vehicles as it will save both time and money for the fleet owners.
Apart from the fleet owners, the move will also benefit people in remote areas, where fuel stations are located at a distant place. In case of an emergency too, this service can be used. The customers can use a mobile application to order the fuel. The minimum order require to avail the doorstep delivery is 200 litres and the customers ordering more than 2,500 litres should have a PESO license for storage to avail the service.
Since petrol is far more combustible than diesel, it is not as safe to deliver as the diesel and hence Indian Oil has started with diesel for now and for safety precautions, the fuel dispenser is equipped with safety cones and fire extinguishers.
