New Delhi: The country’s largest oil marketing company Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) has started diesel home delivery with Delhi-based startup Humsafar India. However, under this facility, customers can order a maximum of 20 liters of diesel while sitting at home. IOC has started door-step delivery of diesel in Safar 20 (Safar20) jerry cans in Patiala and Malerkotla in Punjab through the mobile app Fuel Humsafar App.
What and who will benefit from home delivery
Sanya Goyal, founder, and director of Humsafar India said that earlier customers had to buy diesel in barrels from retail shops. He had a lot of trouble with this. Also, diesel was wasted.

Small industries, malls, hospitals, banks, construction sites, farmers, mobile towers, educational institutions as well as small industries will benefit from this new service.
