State run fuel retailers Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd (HPCL) said they have intensified fuel quality inspections across their nationwide retail networks, as they sought to reassure consumers amid concerns over fuel quality circulating on social media.
IOC said it conducted nearly 10,000 surprise inspections and more than 8,500 quality tests across its retail outlets over the past week, deploying hundreds of special inspection teams to verify compliance with prescribed quality standards.
