GCC To Digitize Its 29 Petrol Bunks

Hyderabad: The Girijan Cooperative Corporation (GCC), a state-run initiative for tribals, said it has partnered with Trayambhu Tech Solutions Pvt Ltd (TRST01), a city-based climate tech company to digitize the entire operating system of 29 petrol pumps operated by GCC across three regions in Telangana.

Due to operational inefficiencies and weak financial management systems these petrol pumps are facing losses, shutdowns, and malfunctioning, an official GCC press release said adding that to address these challenges, Dr A Sharath, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of GCC, has undertaken a review of petrol pump operations. Identifying systemic weaknesses, Dr Sharath charted a roadmap to transform these petrol pumps from loss-making entities into profit centres through digitization and technology-driven management systems.

To achieve this, the State has partnered with TRST01 for designing and implementing an Inventory Management and Monitoring App and Dashboard tailored to the operational needs of GCC petrol pumps. This technology solution aims to digitize the entire operating system transitioning it from traditional management practices to a technology-driven model, the release mentioned.

Speaking about the initiative, Dr Sharath said: “This initiative is expected to be a game-changer, bringing operational vibrancy and financial sustainability to tribal-run petrol pumps. It will ensure sustainable employment for tribal sales people, foster transparency in financial management, and secure livelihoods for tribal communities. The digitization drive aims to replicate successful models such as the TSRTC and Jail-run petrol pumps.”
