Bharat Petroleum launches UFill automated fueling tech

UFill does not require a specific app. Instead, the user can pay using payment apps like GPay, PayTM, PhonePe, etc.

Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) has launched a new automated fueling system called 'UFill'.

UFill does not require a specific app. Instead, the user can pay using any payment app installed on their phone, i.e. GPay, PayTM, PhonePe, etc. Payments can be done using a real-time QR code and voucher code through SMS. If the amount paid in advance is partially used, the balance amount is refunded to the bank account of the customer.

According to BPCL, UFill provides customers with control of fueling with the dispensing unit getting automatically pre-set for the value of fuel paid for by them in advance and eliminates the need for manual intervention. There's no need to check zero before fueling or the final reading as the dispenser automatically dispenses the exact quantity of fuel.

BPCL has launched UFill in 65 cities. It will soon be introduced across the country.
