All-fuel retail pumps under consideration

New Delhi, May 29: After doorstep delivery of diesel, the Centre is looking at starting home delivery of petrol and CNG for the convenience of customers, oil minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Friday.

Also, the government is looking at a new fuel retailing model where all types of fuels—petrol, diesel, CNG, LNG and LPG—would be available at one place, he said.

Indian Oil Corp (IOC), the nation's largest fuel retailer, in September 2018 started home delivery of diesel through a mobile dispenser. This service is available only in a handful of cities.

Doorstep delivery of petrol and CNG is said to pose risks due to highly inflammable nature of the fuel, and safe and secure modes approved by relevant authorities need to be evolved.

Pradhan said the government is working on energy efficiency, affordability, security and accessibility.
