CODO Model

01
Get in Touch

Company Owned, Dealer Operated Petrol Pump

If you want to run a petrol pump without buying land or building big infrastructure, the CODO model is for you. CODO stands for Company Owned, Dealer Operated. Here, a major oil company (like Indian Oil, HPCL, BPCL, or Jio-bp) owns the station. You, as a dealer, operate it every day under a service agreement.
You handle sales, staff, and customer service. The company supplies fuel, owns the assets, and takes care of big maintenance. This way, you get almost all the upside of running a station, with much less risk and investment.
