Nawgati's chief executive Vaibhav Kaushik told The Week that while India’s fuel‑station infrastructure remains functional, it requires significant modernization to meet current demands.
In an interview with The Week, Vaibhav Kaushik, CEO of Nawgati, emphasized that India’s fuel‑station network is not broken but needs a major upgrade.
Kaushik highlighted that the existing infrastructure, while operational, struggles with aging equipment, uneven coverage in rural areas, and limited digital services.
He called for investment in modern technologies such as digital payment systems, real‑time monitoring, and better safety protocols to improve efficiency and customer experience.
The CEO believes that a coordinated effort between private firms, government bodies, and technology providers can revitalize the network and support the country’s growing fuel demand.
