Mumbai: British oil giant BP Plc's Indian arm has received a licence from the government to sell jet fuel in the country, a company official said on Thursday.
"India is a huge market... Obviously we are a very large player globally in the aviation business, so it makes sense for us to be here," said Sashi Mukundan, regional president and India country head for BP.
Mr Mukundan said BP will soon start local sales of aviation turbine fuel (ATF).
He declined to elaborate on whether BP will sell fuel on its own or tie up with an Indian partner.
