As margins of petrol, diesel and CNG have not increased in the last three years, despite repeated representations, about 4,000 petrol owners in Gujarat have decided not to buy petrol and diesel from oil companies on August 12. According to the Federation of Gujarat Petroleum Dealers Association, the sale of CNG will also be stopped for 1 hour on this day.
“It was decided to increase our margin every year in 2017, but it has not been implemented till date,” said Arvind Thackeray, president of the federation. As a result, the cost to pump owners has increased by about 30% during these years. In addition, petrol and diesel prices have risen by 51%, increasing our capital investment.
Despite repeated representations, the companies have not increased our margins, so we have decided not to buy for a day to protest.
- Customers will have no trouble.
Saying Federation Secretary dhimanta ghelanie of our costing a symbolic protest against the raising demands sound. The sale of petrol and diesel will continue at 4000 petrol pumps in the state and consumers will not have any problem with this. Gujarat’s petrol pumps buy 2.66 crore litres of petrol and diesel daily, not procuring on August 12.
- Sales
According to Arvind Thackeray, petrol and diesel have dropped by 35% in the last 18 months due to Corona. In addition to this, the illegal sale of duplicate biodiesel for two years is also causing huge losses to our business. As a result, petrol pumps are likely to close in the coming days if our demand is not heeded.
