Andhra Pradesh Prohibits Bulk Fuel Sales at 4,500 Outlets and Limits Container Capacities to 200 Litres

The Civil Supplies Commissioner has issued a directive to District Collectors mandating that petrol stations across the region are to fill fuel directly into vehicle tanks only. This decision aims to enhance fuel distribution integrity and safety protocols at service stations.

Additionally, the directive establishes a 200-litre limit on fuel container fills, prohibiting bulk supply to mitigate risks associated with improper fuel handling and storage. The rationale behind these measures is to prevent potential misuse and to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of fuel resources amidst rising concerns over fuel supply management.

District Collectors are expected to oversee the implementation of these regulations and ensure that petrol pumps comply with the new guidelines. This initiative comes in the wake of increased scrutiny on fuel pricing and distribution practices, as well as ongoing efforts to combat fuel black market activities. Further updates on compliance measures and enforcement strategies are anticipated as this directive is rolled out across the state.
