RIL's Jio-bp curbs diesel fills as West Asia war strains supplies | Company Business News
Jio-bp has capped diesel sales at 50 litres per fill and limited each pump's daily sales to 6,000 litres. The West Asia war is disrupting supplies and keeping oil prices high, so bulk users like long-haul trucks, buses and farms feel the pinch. State-run pumps have not imposed such limits. Watch your fuel costs and plan refills early.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Jio-bp has capped diesel sales at 50 litres per customer per transaction, with the nozzle stopping automatically at that level.
- It has also limited daily diesel sales to 6,000 litres for each of its 2,000 fuel outlets spread across 21 states and Union Territories.
- Brent crude prices have stayed above $100 a barrel for weeks and touched a four-month high of $110 on 14 September.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If your trucks, buses or farm equipment run on diesel, track your daily fuel use and refill earlier than usual, since large single fills may not be available at Jio-bp outlets. Do check other fuel pumps in your area before assuming the same limit applies there.
