Hyderabad: IndianOil, a State-owned oil company, has rolled out the cleaner and greener diesel XtraGreen to 126 fuel stations across 63 cities in the country and also launched IndianOil's fuel gift card, One4U.

Chairman Shrikant Madhav Vaidya commenced the sale of XtraGreen at an IndianOil fuel station at Agra. He said: "XtraGreen is in sync with the Prime Minister's commitment to steer India towards a greener tomorrow, constant reduction of carbon emission and gradual achievement of the net-zero goal by 2070.
