Nagpur-based startup, Navankur Infranergy recently launched a mobile fuel station – ‘Booster Diesel’ – to deliver diesel to customers’ doorstep across the city. The company has partnered with Mahindra & Mahindra and Pune-based mobile fuel browser maker, Repos Energy to launch this venture. Navankur Infranergy has sourced the fully built mobile fuel bowser vehicle from Repos, which is built on a Mahindra Furio 11 truck, supplied by the automaker. The mobile fuel pump was inaugurated by Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Road Transport and Highways of India, and P. M. Parlewar, Director MSME, DI, Maharashtra.
Speaking on the occasion Nachiketa Pande, Director, Navankur Infranergy said, “Booster Diesel – Fuel Bowser will serve across Nagpur to meet the demand for diesel by various end-users and industries at their doorstep. It is a double dispensing Alpha Mobile Fuel Pump built on Mahindra Furio 11 truck. This Fully built Mobile Fuel Bowser has been supplied by Pune-based Repos Energy. Door-step diesel delivery will lead to an efficient energy distribution infrastructure and will provide diesel to bulk consumers in the most legal and facet manner.”

Navankur Infranergy says that the doorstep fuel delivery model has grown rapidly across the country and scaled up even faster in the post-Covid era. This is due to a multitude of factors including, the global supply chain and economics of fuel trade, structural constraints of the existing distribution model, changing buying behaviour of consumers and technological disruption. And Navankur Infranergy has partnered with Mahindra and Repos to further expand its presence in mobile fuel distribution in the region.
Repos has been a strong player in this space, offering mobile fuel delivery solutions by offering fully built fuel browser vehicles. The company has tied up with Mahindra to cater to Doorstep Fuel delivery demand through their Furio trucks – a range of Light and Intermediate commercial vehicles. The company is already present in over 220 cities across India through its 1500+ partners and 2500+ Repos Mobile Fuel Pumps.

Chetan Walunj, Co-Founder, Repos Energy says, “While the entire world is moving towards making things easily accessible by going mobile, doorstep diesel delivery in India has eased the way fuel is being delivered in the country. Bringing diesel on wheels through mobile petrol pumps has been one of our major accomplishments, and with the product superiorities and suitability that Mahindra Furio offers for the Fuel Bowser application, we want to reach each and every corner of India and revolutionise the distribution of all kinds of energy in future.”
At the same time, Jalaj Gupta, Business Head – Commercial Vehicles, Mahindra & Mahindra Limited, said, “A major proportion of the diesel goes into fuelling industries, where it is often required in bulk. These industries resort to procuring diesel from fuel pumps using improper receptacles like barrels and bowsers which causes great losses in the form of spillage, pilferage, dead mileage, and manpower costs. Combining with the expertise of Repos Energy in Fuel Bowser business solution, we are introducing a compelling product offering to cater to the emerging need of industries and do our bit towards nation-building.”
