HPCL signs pact with NLDS for integration of API with unified logistics interface platform

Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) has signed an agreement with NICDC Logistics Data Services Ltd. (NLDS) to integrate its APIs with Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP). This partnership is a significant step towards enhancing transparency, operational efficiency, and innovation in India’s logistics sector. The agreement was signed in the presence of Shri Rajat Kumar Saini, CEO & MD, NICDC and Chairman, NLDS, and Avinash Jain, Chief General Manager, North Zone, HPCL. The signing took place between Shri Girish Kumar Supur, CEO, NLDS, and Ms. Anju Jai Misra, General Manager, Delhi Retail Region, HPCL. The HPCL API of ULIP provides Fuel Station & Pricing Visibility, which offers real-time visibility into the location and pricing of HPCL fuel stations across India. This API is expected to address critical logistics challenges, such as lack of clarity on refueling options and fluctuating fuel costs along various routes. By utilizing this data, logistics service providers, traders and transporters can optimize their planning and operations, ultimately reducing costs and inefficiencies. Further, the visibility into fuel station locations helps logistics operators avoid unplanned stops and ensure smoother, more efficient operations. Fleet operators can also plan long-haul trips more effectively by identifying fuel stations along key routes, minimizing downtime and ensuring timely deliveries. Speaking at the signing ceremony, Shri Rajat Kumar Saini, Chairman, NLDS, stated, “The integration of HPCL’s APIs into ULIP will provide logistics operators with the tools needed to make data-driven decisions that directly impact their bottom line. By enabling route-specific fuel cost analysis and visibility
