Nayara Energy has crossed 7,000 petrol pumps in India, adding 500+ outlets in 18 months. Nearly a third are in hinterland areas, with the DODO model supporting 55,000 livelihoods across metros, tier-2 cities and rural markets.

Expansion comes despite mounting fuel retail losses, with Nayara recently rolling out retrospective dealer compensation as margins widened to ₹30/litre, signaling continued network bets amid pressure.

Store-opening activity steady with 273 signals tracked in the last 90 days.
