Fuel Stations Near Any Plot

How far to the nearest pump — and whether EV charging has reached the area yet.

Why fuel access matters for land

A petrol pump within a few minutes' drive is one of those everyday conveniences a buyer never thinks about — until it's a 20-minute round trip. For a plot on the city edge or along a highway, fuel proximity is a real liveability and logistics signal, and for anyone eyeing an EV, a charging point nearby is fast becoming part of the decision.

This is a composite. The base is curated OpenStreetMap fuel data — petrol and diesel pumps across India — which is ours to store, map and export. New pumps and almost all EV charging points appear on Google well before community mapping catches up, so we add a live Google layer, filtered for noise, to catch the fresh stations exactly where the owned map is thin.

What this tool tells you

Four readings, in the order they matter when you are buying land.

Nearest fuel

Straight-line distance to the closest petrol or diesel pump, and its name.

How many within reach

Density rather than the single nearest — how well-served the area is if one station is closed or busy.

EV charging

Charging points nearby, which arrive mostly from the live layer because OpenStreetMap under-maps them in India.

Fresh stations

Newly opened pumps and chargers, live from Google — especially at emerging fringes. Shown, not stored.

How to read the result

What the map and the tables are telling you.

1

Green pins are the owned record

OpenStreetMap pumps, numbered and exportable. The stable base that will still be there next year.

2

Amber dots are live

Google results — new stations and most of the EV charging. Filtered for noise, shown not stored.

3

Distance, not suitability

The tool reports how far. Whether a pump that close is good depends on what you intend to build.

Methodology and data sources

A curated base, plus a live layer

OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL) supply petrol and diesel stations across India — stored, numbered to match the map and included in the GeoJSON download. Google Maps supplies live stations and EV charging, shown with attribution per provider policy and not stored or exported.

Why the live layer matters more here

For most tools the live layer is a freshness top-up. For fuel it is a coverage gap: EV charging in India is rolled out far faster than it is community-mapped, so an OpenStreetMap-only reading would show none where several exist. That is the reason this tool composites two sources rather than trusting one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a fuel station?
Petrol and diesel pumps, plus EV charging points. The stored base layer is curated OpenStreetMap fuel data covering all of India. The live Google layer adds newly opened stations and, importantly, most of the EV charging — that category is badly under-mapped in OpenStreetMap in India, so without the live layer the report would understate it.
Why is EV charging only in the Google list?
Because that is where the data is. Community mapping of EV chargers in India lags well behind their rollout, so an OpenStreetMap-only view would suggest a plot has no charging when it has several. The trade is that Google results are live and display-only — shown with attribution, never stored or exported.
Why are the Google results not in the download?
The Google Maps Platform terms do not permit storing or redistributing Places data. The GeoJSON download therefore contains your plot and the OpenStreetMap pumps, which are data we hold and are free to give you. The report says so on the table itself.
How is the verdict decided?
On everyday convenience by distance to the nearest station: within about 2 km reads as within reach, 2 to 5 km as a short drive, and beyond that as far. It is a convenience heuristic, not a cited standard — and for a plot you intend to build on, a pump very close by is worth checking against setback and safety rules separately.
Does a fuel station next door affect value?
Both ways, and it depends on use. Convenient access is a positive for most buyers, but immediate adjacency can be a negative for residential land — noise, traffic and the fuel storage itself. The tool reports distance; whether close is good is a judgement about what you intend to build.
