Public sector oil retailer Indian Oil Corporation has lost to Reliance Industries Ltd the contract for supplying diesel to the Indian Railways.

The win sees RIL gain a foothold in supplying diesel to the Indian Railways after a gap of almost seven years. Annual business from the Railways is around 2.7 billion litres. The Railways buys diesel through an annual rate contract with oil marketing firms. It invites bids from firms, with the discount level used as a key parameter.
