Fueling The Demand

Chetan Walunj, Co-Founder, Repos Energy said, “While the entire world is moving towards making things easily accessible by going mobile, the doorstep diesel delivery in India has eased the way fuel was being delivered in the country. Bringing diesel on wheels through mobile petrol pumps has been one of our major accomplishments, and with the support of Mahindra for procuring the chassis, we want to reach each and every corner of India and revolutionize the distribution of all kinds of energy in future.”
