Shell-MRPL and Reliance-BP jet fuel sales jumped in April

29 May 2024 CW Team

Due in large part to their increased supply network and effective client marketing, private companies now account for a tenth of India's aviation turbine fuel (ATF) industry. Industry data shows that the two private sector joint ventures, Reliance-BP and Shell-MRPL, have achieved remarkable progress in the last year, increasing their combined market share in the ATF market from 6.3% in April of last year to 10.3% in April of this year.

In April 2022, their combined stake was 6.5%. An 84% year-over-year rise in their sales volume in April has been the primary driver of their market share increases. The sales increase for state-run ATF providers, who have controlled the market from the start, was 8.3% in April, which was less than the 13% industry average. This contributed to the state-run businesses' ATF share contracting to 89.7% from 93.7%.

Smart Roads, Smarter India

India’s infrastructure boom is not only about laying more kilometres of highways – it’s about building them smarter, safer and more sustainably. From drones mapping fragile Himalayan slopes to 3D machine-controlled graders reducing human error, technology is steadily reshaping the way projects are planned and executed. Yet, the journey towards digitisation remains complex, demanding not just capital but also coordination, training and vision.Until recently, engineers largely depended on Survey of India toposheets and traditional survey methods like total stations or DGPS to prepare detai..
