Tech advances in diesel delivery to your doorstep

Contrary to the economic slow-down in Covid, Delhi-based doorstep diesel delivery start-up Humsafar witnessed its biggest growth phase by adding Shapoorji, Afcons India, KMV Projects Pvt Ltd, to its list of existing clients L&T, Ferns and Petals, and more.

Part of this change in fortune can be attributable to Humsafar’s decision of resorting to technology to allow people to place an order using app Fuel Humsafar. “The fuel is delivered within 24 hours of order placement. During Covid, we had even waived off the minimum order clause,” shares Agarwal, whose focus is more on customer satisfaction than competition.

Humsafar delivers fuel in a geo-fenced bowser that is not an ordinary vehicle, but a fuel protector. “There is no leakage in transit, and the operations are app driven. Once the bowser reaches the buyer’s facility, the buyer uses the app to make requests for fuel and receives an OTP. When the OTP is entered, then only the bowser opens and dispenses the fuel.
