Government limits bulk industrial sales of petrol and diesel at retail stations

The government announced new restrictions on bulk fuel sales. Retail fuel stations will no longer be allowed to sell petrol in large quantities to industrial buyers. The same limitation applies to diesel sales. The policy aims to curb fuel hoarding and ensure broader market availability. Officials say the move targets speculative purchasing by large firms. The restrictions take effect immediately upon publication. Industry groups have expressed concerns about operational impacts. Enforcement will be overseen by the petroleum regulatory authority.
