Only a couple of months ago, various oil marketing companies were mulling over the possibility of the home delivery of fuel in order to reduce congestion at the fuel pumps and save on time. MyPetrolPump offers services at select locations in Bengaluru and aims to expand across the city. However, the consumers can call them for a delivery in emergency.

It has a simple process where you need to enter the location, choose the quantity and product, followed by the time of delivery and the same will be delivered at the requested location and time. For any quantity above 100 litres, you will be required to pay only Re.1 per litre as a delivery charge. MyPetrolPump is the consumer brand of ANB Fuels Private Limited which deals with the problems of safety, pilferage and adulteration in the handling of fuel.

 

MyPetrolPump follows strict quality assurance program in order to ensure that every drop of fuel is checked for the quality before it is loaded into the refueller and leaves for delivery. They source fuel only after receiving the pre booking from customers, there is no purchase made before delivery. The startup is recognized by the Government of India under the Startup India policy for innovation in technology and processes adopted for the doorstep delivery of fuel. The startup met up with the petroleum ministry who appreciated their innovation. They use the space within the Petroleum rules where no license is required for the transport or storage of petroleum class B (diesel, but not petrol), which is non bulk, in a quantity not exceeding 2,500 litres.
