Guwahati, Nov 12 (PTI) Indian Oil on Thursday said it has supplied its first consignment of specialised Extreme Winter Grade Diesel (XWG Diesel), capable of functioning at temperatures as low as minus 42 degrees Celsius, to Army units in the Northeast.
The consignment was flagged off from the company’s Missamari Depot on Wednesday for Army units under 4 Corps of the Eastern Command, marking a first for the region, according to an official statement.
The specialised fuel is designed to ensure reliable performance in extreme cold-weather conditions, particularly in high-altitude areas, it said.
Receiving the consignment, 571 ASC Battalion Commanding Officer Col Dipti Sharma appreciated Indian Oil’s prompt response and highlighted the fuel’s importance for Army operations at high-altitude forward locations.
“This landmark initiative underscores Indian Oil’s commitment to providing specialised fuel solutions and ensuring uninterrupted logistical support to the nation’s Defence Forces, particularly in challenging operational environments,” the company said. PTI TR TR SOM
