Rajasthan petrol pump dealers have alleged that oil marketing companies (OMCs) are reducing fuel supplies to retail outlets while also imposing informal limits on how much petrol and diesel consumers can buy. The Rajasthan Petroleum Dealers Association claims dealers are being told to restrict sales via mobile messages and verbal instructions. In a representation to oil companies, the association warned the step could trigger disputes at fuel stations and potentially escalate into law and order problems across the state.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister reviewed the district-wise fuel shortage after officials reported temporary shutdowns of about 421 petrol outlets out of 4,510 statewide. Even as supplies improved by nearly 10 percent versus earlier levels, panic buying triggered sudden rushes at several stations, according to the CMO. Authorities are monitoring outlet status and demand to restore normal operations.
