Petroleum dealers and cooking gas distributors in Tamil Nadu are worried about the possible fallout of Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited refinery being directed to reduce its production to 75% of capacity by the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB).
The Tamil Nadu Petroleum Dealers Association said that the refinery in Manali, near here, operating to only 75% of capacity might lead to shortfall in the availability of fuel at retail outlets. “The impact is yet to be felt since all oil companies have a few days of backup. But oil companies must ensure that consumers are not affected in any way due to this development,” Association State president K.P. Murali said.
