Speaking on this Initiative, Gaurav Lath, Founder, TankUp, said India uses more than 87 million KL of diesel annually, out of which 82% is used by B2B segment (Commercial Transportation & Industrial Use).
The DDD opportunity is focused on Delivery of Diesel for Industrial Use Only, which is approximately 26 million KL market currently serviced through unorganized and inefficient barrel and jerry can procurement system that results in pilferage and handling losses.

The first movers will have an added advantage and TankUp is ready to guide them in every step of their journey fuelling their growth and the growth of the nation he added.
