Indian Oil initiates rare protocol to keep fuel supplies running amid Coronavirus spread
New Delhi: As cities shutdown to contain the spread of coronavirus, Indian OilNSE -7.45 % Corp (IOC) has initiated a rare protocol to safeguard its workforce while at the same time ensuring that plants operate uninterruptedly so as to keep the nation’s fuel supplies running.
“We are in a business where we need to ensure not just consumers get uninterrupted supplies of petrol, diesel and cooking gas (LPG), but also airlines get jet fuel on demand and supply lines for nation’s defence forces are unhindered,” IOC Chairman Sanjiv Singh said.
The company has implemented work from home at non-critical locations and implemented staggered work hours and working on alternate days at others with all precautions.
