Fuel-tech and mobility infrastructure platform Nawgati has surpassed 3.5 million users, helping drivers access real-time information on fuel stations across India and avoid congestion.
Fuel station queues remain a common challenge, particularly during peak hours, when drivers can spend significant time waiting to refuel. For commercial drivers, these delays can directly affect the time available on the road and their earnings.
Nawgati aims to address this information gap by providing real-time visibility into fuel station conditions, including congestion levels, fuel availability and stations that may be more convenient for drivers.
By combining data and technology, the platform is working to make fuel retail more predictable and efficient for both private and commercial vehicle users across the country.
The Nawgati Fuelling App gives users live visibility into station-level queues, fuel availability, and pricing, information that has historically been scattered or unavailable at the point of need. The app was Nawgati’s original product, born out of founder and CEO Vaibhav Kaushik’s own observation of CNG cab drivers losing up to an hour a day, nearly 10 percent of their working time, waiting in fuel lines.
Speaking on this, Vaibhav Kaushik, Co-founder and CEO, Nawgati, said, “This number means more to me than a userbase count. Nawgati started because I watched cab drivers lose nearly an hour a day standing in line, time that came straight out of their earning hours. 3.5 million users of Nawgati tell us that problem was never unique to a handful of drivers I spoke to in Noida; it’s a daily reality for millions across India. Every driver who opens this app before heading to a station is choosing to trust us with a decision that affects their livelihood. That trust is what we’re building on as we take this model beyond India.”
Since its founding in 2019 by Vaibhav Kaushik, Aalaap Nair, and Aryan Sisodia, Nawgati has grown from a consumer information layer into a full-stack fuel retail data company, working to reduce congestion and improve fuel availability for drivers across India.
