Stations-service
Beta Oil reprend Engen Mauritius

*La compagnie devient la première entreprise mauricienne à exploiter un réseau de stations-service

C’est désormais acté : Beta Oil Terminal Ltd, filiale du Bhunjun Group, a finalisé l’acquisition d’Engen Petroleum (Mauritius) Limited après avoir obtenu le feu vert de la Competition Commission. Avec cette opération stratégique, Beta Oil devient le tout premier groupe mauricien à posséder et exploiter un réseau de stations-service sur le marché local. La compagnie gèrera 37 stations-service et l'intégralité de l'infrastructure de distribution d'Engen à Maurice.

Cette acquisition marque une entrée remarquée dans un secteur longtemps dominé par des multinationales telles que Vivo Energy (licencié Shell), TotalEnergies et Indian Oil Corporation.

« Après 50 ans d'activité à Maurice dans différents secteurs, cette acquisition marque une étape historique pour notre groupe et pour le pays. Nous démontrons aujourd'hui que l'entrepreneuriat mauricien a atteint la maturité nécessaire pour rivaliser avec des opérateurs internationaux de grande envergure. C'est une fierté nationale, mais c'est aussi une responsabilité. Nous nous engageons à maintenir les standards d'excellence qui ont fait la réputation d'Engen, tout en apportant notre agilité locale et notre capacité d'innovation », a déclaré Veekram Bhunjun, Chief Executive Officer du Bhunjun Group, ce mercredi 12 novembre.

Beta Oil Terminal Ltd garantit une transition sans interruption pour l'ensemble des parties prenantes. Tous les postes, rémunérations et avantages des employés sont sécurisés et transférés intégralement sous la nouvelle structure. Les contrats existants, termes commerciaux et approvisionnements restent inchangés pour les concessionnaires.

Pour les clients commerciaux et industriels, la continuité totale de l'approvisionnement est maintenue avec les mêmes accords contractuels. Par ailleurs, l'équipe de direction opérationnelle reste en place pour assurer la stabilité durant la période de transition.

[ Mauritius currently stands out among the top African countries in digital payments adoption ]

The government has launched an inspiring Digital Transformation Blueprint 2025-2029, titled "A Bridge to the Future," which outlines the strategy to modernize the island into a technology-driven, high-income, and inclusive economy by 2030, by fostering an innovation-driven culture and expanding digital public services to promote inclusiveness and economic growth.

Mauritius’s position in digital payments is owed to the increasing adoption of digital services among the population and to financial inclusion. About 91% of adults possess a formal transaction account, showcasing strong pe*******on of digital financial services across the nation.

In terms of contactless payments, Mauritius ranks among the top three countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The pe*******on of contactless transactions has surged from just 0.5% in 2020 to an impressive 45% by 2023 ( source: https://platformafrica.com/2024/02/08/visas-fabrice-konan-mauritius-is-in-the-top-three-in-sub-saharan-africa-in-terms-of-contactless-payments-pe*******on ). This rapid growth indicates a significant shift towards Near Field Communication (NFC) and QR code payment systems.

The number of mobile money agents in Mauritius has been growing steadily alongside the country's broader digital payments ecosystem development coupled with near-universal 4G/LTE mobile coverage at 99%, this infrastructure supports widespread access to digital payments throughout Mauritius.

The COVID-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst for this transformation, accelerating the adoption of digital payments dramatically. E-commerce transactions by value soared by an astounding 400% ( source: https://mauritiusfintech.org/blog/opportunities-challenges-fintech-post-covid-mauritius-future-digital-payments/ ), while mobile payments experienced significant growth during lockdowns— contactless transactions quadrupled, and mobile payments increased by approximately 200%.

Innovative national initiatives have further bolstered this trend; Mauritius introduced a national QR code standard known as MauCAS QR Code to democratize digital payments for small merchants. This initiative facilitates easy acceptance of electronic payments and supports government e-services. Additionally, the Bank of Mauritius is actively exploring Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) initiatives to enhance its evolving digital payment ecosystem.

The Network Readiness Index ranks Mauritius 1st in the region for 2024, showcasing the country’s capacity to navigate digital transformation and its digital readiness. This comprehensive approach positions Mauritius not just as a digital adopter but also as a digital benchmark in the region.
