Mahindra Susten deploys 1st Solar Powered Petrol Pump in Uttar Pradesh

Mahindra Susten has deployed its very first solar powered petrol pump for Indian Oil in Uttar Pradesh. The state-of-the-art solar PV solution has been executed keeping in mind the highest quality standards and has been installed at the S.V. Filling Station, Rajesultanpur, Ambedkar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh.

“Indian Oil Corporation completely supports the Government’s vision to achieve the 100 GW mark in solar installations and hence, our focus on converting our retail outlets to green facilities as far as possible. The solar installation at the S.V. Filling Station is not only a step in this direction but also helps reduce our dependence on conventional fossil fuel. It also results in lower operating charges and increases reliability of electricity supply at the pump. The long life span of solar plants and the fact that it does not require much maintenance, is an added advantage” said Ashish Gupta, Senior Divisional Retail Sales Manager, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd.

We are proud to have partnered with Mahindra Susten and are extremely pleased with the execution quality” said Vakil Ahmed, Owner, S.V. Filling Station.
