With the rapid growth of fueling networks across India, managing efficiency and minimising congestion has become a pressing priority. Nawgati’s Aaveg system integrates advanced hardware and software to optimise fuel station operations, reduce waiting times, and improve compliance tracking. The grant will enable further refinement of the technology to support Nawgati’s ambitious expansion plans.

In addition to funding, MeitY Startup Hub has provided Nawgati with vital exposure and networking opportunities, aiding the company in developing solutions tailored to the industry’s evolving needs. Looking forward, Nawgati is committed to transforming India’s fueling infrastructure and improving user experience across the country.
