Now you can get fuel at your doorstep in Bengaluru

Bengaluru has become the country's first city where one can have fuel delivered at one's doorstep, just like milk and newspapers, only weeks after the oil ministry announced that the Centre was thinking of rolling out such a system.

On 15 June, Mypetrolpump, a one year-old startup, conducted a soft launch with three delivery vehicles- each with a capacity of 950 litres. It has already delivered more than 5,000 litres of diesel. Diesel is delivered at the day's running price with a fixed delivery charge.

For up to 100 litres, the one-time delivery charge is Rs 99. For above 100 litres, one needs to pay the diesel price plus one additional rupee per litre bought. The customers have the option of making payment for this service either via cash or by swiping cards at the time of delivery.

Regarding the cancellation of order, the website claims that there is no cancellation charge as long as a delivery re-fueller has not been sent to the location. It recommends its customers to cancel the fuel delivery before they start to deliver it.

It is an online platform which allows users to order refuelling of their vehicles at their residence or location of their choice. According to the startup's website, it is currently servicing limited areas of Bengaluru - HSR Layout, Koramangla, Bellandur, and BTM & Bomanahalli. One can also enter the pincode of one's area to check the service availability. A user can also pre-book his future requirement for fuel with the website.

As per the website, one can avail delivery of fuel from 6 AM in the morning to 8 PM in the evening all days.
