Why Petrol Pumps Are a Smart Business
Petrol pumps are a great way to earn steady money because cars and bikes are increasing every day.

These pumps need less money to start and are perfect for farmers or small business owners. You can earn up to ₹5 lakh a month if you pick a busy location. The government supports this with low fees for SC/ST and OBC groups, making it fair for everyone.

No criminal record is allowed, and you need some money to invest, starting from ₹12 lakh for SC/ST in rural areas. Women and farmers get extra benefits, with 33% of dealerships reserved for women.
