Nawgati, a fuel-tech platform, served as the sponsor for the All India Petroleum Dealers Association (AIPDA) Conclave held at Dr. Ambedkar International Centre in New Delhi on July 21, 2025. The event brought together industry stakeholders to discuss developments in India's petroleum sector.
Shri Harsh Malhotra, Minister of State for the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, attended the conclave and spoke about innovation and efficiency in fuel distribution and mobility. Senior officials from major oil and gas companies, including Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited, and Indraprastha Gas Limited, also participated in the event.
Vaibhav Kaushik, CEO and co-founder of Nawgati, made two presentations during the conclave. In the first session, he introduced the company's Aaveg platform and its approach to fuel station operations. During the second session, he demonstrated the Nawgati fueling app, explaining its features and impact on customer experience at fuel stations.
The conclave included participants from oil marketing companies, the Legal Metrology Department, and NHLML. These stakeholders discussed opportunities within the petroleum industry and shared insights about sector developments.
Nawgati focuses on digital solutions for fuel stations and fleet operators. The company works to address congestion at fuel stations, fleet management processes, and the refueling experience through its technology platform. The company also promotes non-fuel revenue opportunities for fuel dealers through services such as pollution under control certificates and convenience retail.
The fuel-tech platform receives support from government-backed entities including GAIL (India) Ltd., MeitY Startup Hub, and the Department of Science and Technology. Nawgati collaborates with fuel companies and fleet operators to provide digital refueling solutions across India.
The AIPDA represents petroleum dealers across India and organizes industry events to facilitate discussion among sector participants. The association works with various stakeholders in the petroleum distribution network to address industry challenges and opportunities.
