Team-BHP - Trusted Petrol Pumps in Bangalore

Condor, It's new and I'm not seeing in maps. You know the Brigade Millennium road that leads to JP Nagar 8th Phase? Just before Vishal Mega mart. (There is a HDFC Bank and a temple). Its right there on the right side

The Doddanekundi shell is permanently closed....No idea why, probably a take over of the land by real estate.

Just learnt that this is to give way for the upcoming metro line and the station is planned to be at that spot.

Does any one know a COCO near Meenakshi, Hulimavu locality? Presently I make do with BP which seems good so far, looking for a better option. I would not be interested in Shell so much, probably prefer BP and HP COCO Diesel. I can go up to 5 KMs from Meenakshi Temple on BG Road.

The BP in Hulimavu is a great option and has been around for long without many complaints and is also rated great among the dealer outlets due to their low complaints and good compliance. So, why change when the going is good.

Alternately, I think there is an Essar Bunk not far from the Shell you mentioned.

There is a new BP bunk behind Brand Factory - on that wide road that goes towards the lake. (if you are going from JD mara signal, after Brand factory, take left on that wide road.) But not sure if it is a COCO.

Not aware of any other COCO bunks in the area.

No that's not a COCO but nevertheless it is good bunk and you could try that.

It had a board all the time that I used it. Unless they moved out recently.

I have not been that side since I have found a newer place closer home/ on my regular route.

Srinivass - you might want to try Ekadanta IOCL outlet next to Gottigere Shell is also as good as IOCL COCO. Using it for the last few years since they opened this outlet.

There was a plot there lying vacant for several years and I was expecting a commercial building/supermarket to come up there. This could make the place even more messy due to the entry to 6th main being right opposite.

After seeing this place under construction for nearly 2 years, I finally saw this shell petrol bunk operational yesterday

They were open a year ago and recently closed temporarily for another renovation and looks like they're open again!

I don't think they were ever open. They were set to open but one of the neighbour's objected and got a stay.

Hello All, Wanted to report about an IOCL petrol station that must be avoided in JP Nagar (at Delmia signal).
Please search for "Indian Oil - Hymesh Filling Station". (Plus code WH4V+JQ Bengaluru, Karnataka).

The modus operandi is pretty simple.
The filling guy ignores when you will ask for a full tank and stops midway, usually when the meter reads Rs 500. Then without resetting the counter he keeps on filling and then adds the 500 to the bill.

If you read through the reviews you will see plenty of complaints.
I wonder if there is a way to report these kind of activities.

That bunk is amongst those which I pass by very regularly, but in many years, I may have filled up there 3-4 times, mostly for my scooter.

Any bunk that is not busy is screaming to be avoided - unless it's an emergency. And even then, only that much to get you to a better pump. The property of this particular pump was under litigation till some time back. I think that they are still operating more to avoid any contractual obligations with IOCL. That pump is pure real estate gold.

I avoid going to BPCL petrol pump, on the junction of Kamaraj Road - Wheeler Road. This happened several years back. I noticed them trying to cheat by first filling for Rs 300, then starting from there took it to Rs 700, when I asked for Rs 1000 to be filled.

Used to be a regular customer, but stopped going there after that incident.

Shell has increased the price of Diesel from 9th May 2022. Now, it's Rs. 100.94, in Bangalore. Do you still feel it's worth even with a difference of Rs. 6.15. Earlier difference was around Rs. 2/-, but now the gap has widened. Or, is it an indication that soon, PSU's will increase the Fuel prices.

Petrol is Rs. 119.12, which is about Rs. 8/- more than the state owned companies. The difference of Rs. 6-8 was always there in Petrol, but probably the first time we are seeing such big difference in Diesel.
