New Delhi   25-Aug-2011

State-owned IndianOil (IOC) has introduced the nation's first petrol pump with self service refuelling facility as is prevalent in several developed nations.

The first self-refuelling petrol pump opened in the national capital on August 24, 2011. It was inaugurated by Amresh Kapoor, General Manager in-charge of IOC Delhi State Office.

"Under the concept, the customer shall be provided the option of refuelling his vehicle either through the pre loaded automation tags or the manual option by feeding the quantity to be dispensed by the dispensing unit," a company press brief said.

However, an attendant will be available at the bay for assistance.
