SustainabilityNext Features Adnan Kidwai

According to Adnan Kidwai, CEO of FuelBuddy, doorstep fuel delivery is no longer about convenience. It is about control, compliance, and operational discipline.

PESO to Doorstep: Rules Behind Diesel Delivery

The Indian government has overhauled fuel regulations since 2019 to permit doorstep diesel delivery for eligible B2B customers. This move was not just about convenience; it was also aimed at curbing rampant pilferage, adulteration, and unauthorized resale, which plagued traditional diesel supply chains for industrial users.
