The Ojas minimum order is 13,000 Imperial Gallons, or 59,099 liters, per order. It applies to 10 PPM Ultra-Low-Sulphur Diesel (EN 590) with no product exceptions.
Your tank must have at least that much usable headroom, otherwise the load will not fit. Check your capacity before you request a quotation.

Note: Product availability, pricing, and delivery lead time remain subject to market conditions, product source, destination, and commercial terms agreed at the order stage.
How Do You Convert the Minimum Order Into Run-Hours?
Divide 59,099 liters by your generators’ combined hourly fuel use at design load. The result shows how many run-hours one minimum order covers.
Take the consumption figure from your generator manufacturer’s fuel consumption sheet, then compare the result with your autonomy target to set your reorder point.
In formula form, run-hours equal 59,099 liters divided by your combined fuel use in liters per hour. A heavier load shortens the result and a lighter load extends it.
Which Diesel Grade Do Data Center Generators Use?
Ojas coordinates 10 PPM Ultra-Low-Sulfur Diesel (EN 590), which is Euro V aligned. Before you approve any grade, check your generator manufacturer’s fuel requirements.
Ask for a Certificate of Analysis for the batch, which Ojas makes available on request for supported batches. Then compare the specification on the certificate with what your manufacturer requires.
Good records make that comparison easy later. Keep these documents for every delivery:
- Certificate of Analysis for the batch
- Delivery note
- Invoice
Should You Plan Bulk Diesel Supply Earlier in 2026?
Plan recurring bulk diesel supply orders earlier in 2026 instead of buying at the last minute. Reuters reported that Russia extended its diesel export ban for fuel producers until the end of October and that Hormuz transits fell to the lowest in more than two months. Treat both as planning risks only.
- 30 September 2026: Reuters reported that Russia extended its ban on diesel exports for fuel producers until the end of October.
- 2 October 2026: Reuters reported that Russia would consider a partial lifting of its diesel export restrictions in case of overproduction.
- 8 October 2026: Reuters reported that the number of vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz fell to the lowest in more than two months after attacks on tankers.
What Should You Check Before Choosing a Bulk Diesel Supplier?
Ensure the supplier’s trading permit position, the product specification, the documents supplied per delivery, and the commercial terms.
Federal Law No. 14 of 2017 regulates petroleum products trading in the UAE and sets out licensing in its Article 4. Ask for every term in writing, including the minimum order and payment terms.
Ask any supplier to show licence evidence before you sign a bulk diesel supply agreement. A supplier that coordinates your fuel should be comfortable with that request. Keep a copy with your quotation:
- Licence evidence
- Written quotation
- Minimum order and payment terms in writing
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Ojas’s minimum diesel order?
The minimum order is 13,000 Imperial Gallons, or 59,099 liters, per order. It applies to 10 PPM Ultra-Low-Sulphur Diesel (EN 590) with no exceptions. Check that your storage can take at least one full minimum order before you request bulk diesel supply.
2. What payment terms does Ojas accept?
Ojas accepts upfront payment, cash on delivery, or bank transfer on delivery before offloading. No other terms apply. Ask for the payment terms in writing in your quotation, so your finance team can confirm the sequence before the order is placed.
3. Which documents should you expect with each delivery?
Ojas arranges a delivery note and an invoice for each supply. A Certificate of Analysis is available on request for supported batches. Ask for all three when you request your quotation, and file them with your generator records so nothing is missing at handover.
4. How do you decide when to reorder?
Divide your usable tank volume above your minimum safe level by your generators’ hourly fuel use. That gives you your remaining run hours. Reorder when that figure drops to your autonomy target plus a safety margin for arranging a delivery. Review it after every test run.
5. How does Ojas coordinate bulk diesel supply?
Ojas coordinates bulk diesel supply through Bulk Supply Planning, which supports recurring and high-volume requirements. Share your site location, volume, and delivery window in your quotation request. Ojas then arranges a supply plan around those details and the commercial terms you agree to at the order stage.
