Industry Odisha Bureau, Jun 30: In the wake of improvement being witnessed in the West Asia crisis after the recently inked US-Iran peace deal as well as easing supply situation, the Government of India (GoI) has reportedly removed all the restrictions and caps imposed earlier on the sale of petrol and diesel at the retail outlets across the country, and the new order will reportedly come into effect from tomorrow.
Reportedly, “The GoI had earlier imposed the cap on the retail sale of diesel of 200 litres per consumer per day, and had also barred industrial and commercial consumers from purchasing petrol and diesel from retail outlets. On June 12, the Union Petroleum Ministry had issued an order to control hoarding of diesel, its black marketing and diversion as well as prevented industrial and commercial consumers from purchasing diesel and petrol from the retail outlets across the country.”
Such a move by the GoI has come close on the heels of its June 25 order that reportedly “restored the supply of industrial and commercial liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to levels supplied before the West Asia crisis and withdrew all caps on sector-specific allocations/sectoral mandates.”
