en.Wedoany.com Reported - Nayara Energy, backed by Rosneft, has expanded its fuel station network to over 7,000 across India, making it the country's largest private fuel retailer. The company stated that it has added more than 500 new stations over the past 18 months, averaging nearly one new station per day, as part of its ongoing investment to strengthen its nationwide retail network.
The newly added stations cover metropolitan centers, growth corridors, tier-2 cities, and rural areas. Nayara Energy noted that nearly one-third of its stations are located in inland regions where fuel infrastructure is still developing, supporting India's mobility needs while increasing fuel supply in underserved markets.
Mumbai-based Nayara Energy (formerly Essar Oil Limited) operates a refinery in Vadinar, Gujarat, with an annual capacity of 20 million tons, accounting for approximately 8% of India's total refining output. Rosneft is the single largest shareholder, holding a 49.13% stake in Nayara.
According to Nayara Energy, its retail strategy focuses on providing guaranteed fuel quality and quantity, complemented by standardized operations and customer-centric services. The company has also invested in modern station designs and convenience-oriented ancillary services to enhance the customer experience.
The network expansion has also generated broader economic benefits. Through the dealer-owned, dealer-operated (DODO) model, Nayara Energy's retail ecosystem currently supports over 55,000 livelihoods through local entrepreneurship and long-term dealer partnerships.
The company stated that it will continue to focus on expanding its retail footprint, enhancing customer experience, and providing reliable energy solutions in line with its "In India, for India" strategy.
