The Consortium of Indian Petroleum Dealers (CIPD) has requested the oil marketing companies to restore normal supply of diesel
The Consortium of Indian Petroleum Dealers (CIPD) has requested the oil marketing companies (OMCs) to restore normal supply of diesel without any rationing to avoid dry-outs.
In a letter addressed to the Oil Industry Coordinator, CIPD president M Narayana Prasad said petroleum dealers were being pressurised by the OMCs to "be cautious" in the sale of fuels, diesel in particular.
Also, the OMCs stated that loads would be supplied only in combination (petrol and diesel).
"The reason given by the OMCs for this curtailed supply is that they are losing Rs 28 per litre on diesel and Rs 8 on petrol. We are advised to restrain from selling to new customers by catering only to the existing," Narayana Prasad pointed out.
