Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IOCL) has introduced XtraGreen diesel, a more eco-friendly variant as it has a lower sulphur content than regular diesel, in the State.
The variant, which offers higher fuel economy and reduced noise, is priced ₹3 more than high-speed diesel (HSD), which is more commonly used. The higher cetane number in XtraGreen is supposed to provide better combustion compared to conventional diesel.
V. Sathish Kumar, Director (marketing) of Indian Oil, launched the sale at the company’s Maraimalai Nagar outlet in the presence of V.C. Ashokan, executive director, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, State coordinator for the Oil industry, and K. Shailendra, executive director, regional services.
