Under the collaboration, DPIIT will work with Repos Energy to enhance industry–startup linkages and support the development of technology-driven solutions. The initiative is expected to foster indigenous innovation and facilitate the scaling of startups in emerging sector.
Under the MoU, the collaboration will focus on providing structured support to startups in manufacturing and deep-tech domains, including co-hosting innovation challenges and hackathons, organising investor connect programmes and skill development initiatives, and facilitating pilot opportunities and market access. The initiative will also support early-stage innovators from ideation to prototyping and leverage the Startup India platform for wider outreach and participation.
Joint Secretary, DPIIT Sanjiv said that the partnership reflects the Government’s continued commitment to strengthening India’s startup ecosystem by enabling access to infrastructure, mentorship, and market linkages.
He noted that such collaborations help accelerate innovation in key sectors such as fuel-tech, manufacturing, and supply chain technologies.
At a time when global geopolitical tensions and ongoing conflicts have placed unprecedented focus on fuel security and supply chain stability, the importance of efficient and intelligent lastmile fuel distribution has come sharply into focus. Disruptions caused by war-like situations have highlighted vulnerabilities in traditional fuel supply chains, underscoring the urgent need for technology-driven solutions, Repos said in a statement.
Repos Energy said its platform addresses this critical gap by redefining how current and future fuels are accessed, distributed, and managed. By building a digital infrastructure layer for fuel logistics, the company is enabling smarter, more resilient last-mile fuel delivery systems; an area that has historically remained underserved at scale.
“Repos is a deep fuel-tech platform redefining how current and future fuels are accessed and managed; solving a problem that has never been addressed at this scale anywhere in the world. And hence this MoU with DPIIT is an important step for us. For any startup, government backing like this gives you credibility, visibility, and access to an ecosystem you simply can’t build alone,” Aditi Bhosale Walunj, Founder of Repos Energy, said in a statement.
The collaboration positions the company as a key contributor to strengthening India’s energy resilience. By leveraging government support and ecosystem access, Repos aims to accelerate the adoption of intelligent fuel management systems across industries, ensuring efficiency, transparency, and reliability in fuel distribution, the statement added.
