Govt bars industries from buying petrol, diesel at pumps; mandates bulk purchase route

 Government has restricted industrial, commercial, and institutional users from buying petrol and diesel at retail fuel stations. This move aims to curb abnormal demand growth, particularly in diesel, driven by price differences between retail and bulk sales. The order, effective for up to 90 days, ensures equitable fuel availability for ordinary consumers. Government has restricted industrial, commercial, and institutional users from buying petrol and diesel at retail fuel stations.
