India: Uber partners with IOCL for fuel benefits to drivers

Uber has entered into a partnership with Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) to offer special benefits to drivers on their platform across India.

The partnership with Uber and payment platform Paytm will offer discounts to drivers on petrol, diesel and CNG purchases at IOCL fuel stations across the country, reports The News Minute.

"Indian Oil has been always striving to add to the fuelling experience of customers coming to its retail outlets. Through our association with Uber, we would be giving one more reason for a Uber driver partner to fuel with us and also earn IndianOil's XTRAREWARD loyalty points for free fuelling," said Vigyan Kumar, Executive Director (Retail Sales), IOCL, in a statement.

The partnership is the latest initiative under the Uber Care umbrella and the company claims that more than 12,000 drivers have already registered for it.
