Nawgati, a fuel-tech solutions provider, has announced its expansion into Sri Lanka, marking the company's entry into a third international market after India and the UAE. The expansion will see Nawgati set up headquarters at the World Trade Centre in Colombo and launch its technology platforms for fuel station operators and consumers.
The company will deploy two core products in the Sri Lankan market: Aaveg, a congestion and compliance intelligence platform for fuel station operators and oil marketing companies, and the Nawgati Fueling App, a consumer platform that provides fuel availability information and wait-time data. The consumer app is already operational for Sri Lankan users.
Nawgati has identified Sri Lanka as a strategic market due to operational similarities with India, including demographic factors, the presence of Indian fuel retailers, and standardised compliance frameworks for fuel stations. The initial rollout will focus on Colombo before expanding to other urban centers.
Commenting on the expansion, Vaibhav Kaushik, CEO and Co-founder of Nawgati, said, "Sri Lanka fits seamlessly into our growth strategy, not just geographically, but operationally. It is a high-value extension of the work we've already been doing in India and the UAE. The market readiness, regulatory alignment, and presence of established Indian operators create a strong foundation for scale. Our aim is to support the industry with technology that reduces uncertainty, improves efficiency, and builds trust, for both fuel operators and the millions of people who rely on them every day. We see Sri Lanka as a long-term investment and an important milestone in building smarter, connected fueling ecosystems globally."
The company is in discussions with private-sector fuel operators and exploring partnerships with government entities for the adoption of monitoring and compliance infrastructure. Nawgati plans to scale its presence across fuel stations and industry partners over the next two to five years.
The Sri Lanka expansion is part of Nawgati's broader international growth strategy targeting markets in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
