Indian Oil Corporation Limited veers towards solar power

Vasco: The Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) will soon have all its retail outlets in the state run on solar energy. Work on two outlets is complete, while eight more stations are being readied, and is expected to be ready by June.

The executive director (in-charge), Maharashtra and Goa state office, Murali Srinivisan, recently said the company will also rollout CNG stations in the state. “We are already in the final stages of commissioning two CNG stations in North Goa at Colvale and Dhargal and are planning to commission three more in Panaji, Zuari Nagar and Cortalim by March,” he said.

“Liquid fuels will continue to remain our key product offering in the future, however, Indian Oil is equally focused on creating supply points for alternate fuels,” he said.
