Think petrol prices are high today? Travel back to 1928 Mumbai, where India’s first petrol pump opened – and a liter cost just 6 paise!

Back then, there were no fancy machines; fuel was hand-pumped from iron drums and transported via bullock carts.

While 6 paise sounds cheap today, it was a fortune for the average worker.

Only royals and wealthy merchants could afford fuel back then.

From that first hand-operated pump to today's network of over 100,000 stations, India’s fuel journey has been nothing short of magical. ⛽✨
