Indian startup Repos Energy plans to come up with mobile petrol pumps to provide fuel at your doorstep. The Pune-based company has issued a statement saying that it aims to produce 3,200 such mobile petrol pumps in the current financial year.

The company currently has around 300 such mobile petrol pumps across the country. Most of them are deployed to deliver fuel on the go.

The company has also said that it plans to rope in around 1,200 operators from across India. In a statement issued by the company, Repos Energy emphasised the need to develop more such mobile petrol pumps in India. Chetan Walunj, the co-founder of Repos Energy, was quoted by IANS saying, “At present India needs over a lakh of fuel stations across the country to meet the demand. However, this wouldn't be feasible due to the availability of land and the huge costs involved. There are over 55,000 fuel stations which are not sufficient."
