Government Curbs Fuel Sales; Bulk Users Barred from Retail Pumps for Next 90 Days to Ease Supply

In a move to ensure fuel availability for individual consumers, the Indian government has restricted bulk purchasers from buying petrol and diesel at retail outlets for up to 90 days. This directive follows abnormal demand spikes caused by bulk users shifting to retail pumps to exploit significant price differences, and it aims to stabilize supply chains and prevent localized shortages.
