To help prevent the spread of the coronavirus, it is very crucial to limit social interactions. To promote social distancing and minimize physical interactions between customers and attendants at the petrol pump, a unique initiative has been started by a Bharat Petroleum fuel station in Pune. As a part of the 'Atmanirbhar' campaign, this self-service petrol pump promotes social distancing and at the same time, reduces unnecessary physical interaction.
A customer can operate the fuel pump machine in three different ways. If the customer wants to fill a certain quantity of the fuel, he/she can enter the desired volume on the machine and dispense the fuel. The second way to get fuel is by selecting a fixed amount and the machine will dispense the fuel worth the amount entered by the customer. The third way to fill fuel will be helpful for those who need a large quantity of fuel. In this procedure, a customer will have to select 500 litres of fuel and then will have to start filling the fuel. There will be an automatic cut-off as soon as the tank is full. in this case, a customer will have to pay based on the amount of fuel filled in the tank.

This 'Atmanirbhar' self-service petrol pump is located in Pune near the Regional Transport office. We expect a number of other petrol pumps to adopt the same system in the future. While the concept of self-service petrol pumps in new in the country, the same has been in practice in the western countries for years now.
