The 20th largest petroleum company in the world, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd, (IOCL) has introduced XtraGreen diesel, in Tamil Nadu. The awareness to use green products is growing and XtraGreen diesel has a lower sulphur content than regular diesel, so it is considered as an eco-friendlier variant.
As per the explanations by sources of IOCL, the fuel would be made available based on customer demand in all major cities and on highways. A representative from IOCL said that “Most high-volume fuel outlets have additional tankage to store another variant, and these outlets can easily stock XtraGreen. High-end diesel cars, buses like volve trucks like Daimler use this variant. Even vehicles that do not have BS VI can use it.” Also, as compared to the conventional diesel, XtraGreen is supposed to provide better combustion.
