John Prasad, country head, institutional business, and Piyush Mittal, executive director and state head, from IOCL, and Capt. S. Divakar, managing director and chief executive, Capt. K. M.

Durga Prasad Babu and on behalf of IOCL by Nishant Gulati of the Vizag distribution office.

The collaboration was described by the organisations as a reinforcement of their long standing association and a shared commitment to operational excellence and reliability. By securing a long term supply arrangement during a period of energy uncertainty DCI will bolster its capability to deliver uninterrupted dredging operations nationwide. The partnership underscores the continuing role of public sector enterprises in maintaining stability and efficiency in critical sectors of the economy.
