Indian Oil Solarises Its Varanasi Fuel Station: A Lesson for Every Local Business
Indian Oil has installed a 125 kW rooftop solar system at its Varanasi facility. Why rooftop solar makes sense for shops, clinics and commercial buildings.
Rooftop solar isn't just for homes. In June 2026, Indian Oil Corporation commissioned a 125 kW rooftop solar system at its Varanasi facility, alongside a 150 kW system in Guwahati. Together, the two plants are expected to generate over 3.76 lakh units of clean electricity a year.
What the solar system powers
At the fuel station, solar runs the dispensers, lighting, CCTV, billing systems, air compressors, signage and even EV charging. The goal is simple: lower electricity costs and less dependence on the grid and diesel generators.
Why this matters for Varanasi businesses
Most shops, clinics, schools, hotels and small factories use most of their electricity during the day, exactly when solar produces the most. Commercial electricity tariffs are also higher than home tariffs, so every solar unit saves more money.
A business rooftop system can:
cut monthly electricity costs significantly
reduce diesel generator running hours
protect against future tariff increases
show customers your commitment to clean energy
