Bengaluru: After New Delhi, state capital Bengaluru happens to be the only place to start off with home delivery of petrol and diesel.
A private firm from the city has started the same in selected areas of Bengaluru.
Happy customers say that over the last couple of days mypetrolpump.com has started home delivery of petrol and diesel in few upmarket areas of the city.
“Customers are allowed to order petrol/ diesel online through mypetrolpump.com,” informed a resident from Bommanahalli.
According to the company website, it is currently serving in Bangalore at selected areas i.e.(HSR Layout, Koramangla, Bellandur, BTM & Bomanahalli & near by pincodes 560102, 560103, 560034, 560095, 560076 & 560068). The company is charging delivery charge on its supply.
But according to the sources in the state government, it is not clear whether this company is running with all required permits. “To start a fuel station there is need of clearance from several departments including fire and safety. As this concept is new we are not too sure about the regulations. This is really a news for us,” said an officer.
