As the crop sowing season begins in Telangana, employees at the State’s first women managed petrol pump in Narayanpet hope to sell more diesel in the coming months. Various vehicles including tractors, which need diesel, are used to level lands, plough fields and other agriculture related works.
Members of the Zilla Mahila Samakhya (ZMS) in the district - who have set up the fuel station - and the officials said that usually, around 4,000 to 5,000 litres of diesel is sold in a day. They sold 13,000 litres of diesel in a day last week as farmers started to take up sowing due to early monsoon.
