Jio-bp, Nayara cap diesel sales as industrial buyers seek cheaper fuel
Jio-bp and Nayara Energy have capped diesel sales at their pumps, limiting each customer to between 50 and 200 litres a day. Factories, hotels and hospitals are buying retail diesel because bulk rates are costlier by up to Rs 40 a litre. Retail prices have not changed since May, so pumps are running short. If your business runs generators, plan your fuel buys early.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Jio-bp outlets have capped diesel purchases at 50 litres per customer per day, while transaction limits at Nayara Energy outlets range from 70 litres to 200 litres.
- Petrol and diesel prices at retail outlets have stayed unchanged since May even as international crude oil prices surged to around USD 108 a barrel.
- A price gap of as much as Rs 40 a litre between retail diesel and fuel supplied to bulk consumers is pushing large users to buy from petrol pumps.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If your factory, hotel, hospital or office depends on diesel for machinery or generator backup, review your fuel needs now and talk to your supplier about arranging bulk supply in advance instead of relying on retail pumps. Keep your fuel bills properly recorded for your accounts.
