No fuel, no problem: Now get diesel in 20-litre cans delivered straight to home
Doorstep diesel delivery platform Humsafar India has partnered with Bharat Petroleum (BPCL) to begin home delivery of 20-litre diesel jars in Delhi NCR, called ‘Safar20’ jerry cans. The move aims to cater to customers seeking diesel in less quantities such as independent households, housing societies, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), malls, nursing homes, among others.
The company expects to clock 57,000 to 60,000 kilolitres of demand for diesel with its 20-litre jerry cans. Households or businesses with small requirements of diesel can place their orders on Humsafar's mobile app called 'Fuel Humsafar'. The app allows end-to-end tracking of the order from its placement to its delivery.
