Telangana government wants public sector oil marketing companies - Indian Oil Corporation, BPCL and HPCL - to supply petrol and diesel as per indents placed by the retail outlets.
Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Minister Gangula Kamalakar conveyed this to the senior officials of the companies, with whom he held discussions for the second consecutive day here. The meeting assumes significance amid reports of some retail outlets across the State running out of stocks, shutting earlier than usual for the day, as well dealers recently accusing the oil companies of rationing products.
Noting that there were 3,520 petrol bunks in the State, the Minister urged the oil companies to ensure against any product shortage by supplying as per indents placed by the dealers.
