Oil Marketing Company dealers (fuel stations) have been reportedly asked to limit their sale of petrol and diesel to normal quantity by the Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs). Though the impact is not felt by motorists in the State, OMC dealers are concerned over the rationing of the supply to the fuel outlets.
Consortium of Indian Petroleum Dealers (CIPD) president M. Narayana Prasad told The Hindu that fuel was being rationed, and a letter has been written to the Oil Industry Coordinator (OIL) in Mumbai on the ‘diktat’ from OMCs.
Mr. Narayana Prasad and general secretary K. Suresh Kumar in the letter dated May 20, stated that OMC dealers were being pressured by the companies to be cautious in sales of petrol and diesel and that they should not sell more and above the normal sale which implied sale to new customers, including fleet, industrial or for generators, should not be entertained.
