India: Repos Energy to produce 3,200 mobile stations this year

The company also plans to get on board over 1,200 operators from across the country during the financial year 2020-21.

Repos Energy, an Indian energy distribution startup, plans to manufacture and sell around 3,200 mobile petrol stations this year. The company said in a statement that it also plans to get on board over 1,200 operators from across the country during the financial year 2020-21.

"At present India needs over a lakh (100.000) of fuel stations across the country to meet the demand. However, this wouldn't be feasible due to the availability of land and the huge costs involved. There are over 55,000 fuel stations which are not sufficient," says co-founder of Repos Energy, Chetan Walunj.

A Repos Petrol Pump can safely and conveniently deliver fuel to the end customers through a simple mobile application. Led by IoT, it is integrated with cloud technology to get real-time updates.

"It has highly sensitive censors called ATG to get accurate quality and quantity of diesel. Enabled with GPS and Geo-fencing, this mobile petrol pump can be monitored in real-time, to ensure the utmost transparency," said Walunj.

"We have a fleet of 320 vehicles out of which over 100 are fully operational and working to deliver fuel across India. But now, our target is to build and sell 3,200 RMPPs in one year," added Walunj.

Repos Energy is backed by Ratan Tata, Chairman Emeritus of Tata Group, who came on board as a mentor along with Tata Motors to help in the making of the Repos Mobile Petrol Pumps.
