Petrol pump owners threaten to shut outlets on Sundays, keep open from 9 to 6 on other days

New Delhi, Apr 11 (IBNS) : Petrol pump owners have threatened to shut down outlets across the country on Sundays demanding higher margins, NDTV reported.

They have also said that filling stations will operate from 9 am to 6 pm to cut costs, unless the Government steps in to meet their demand.

Ravi Shinde, general secretary of Consortium of Indian Petroleum Dealers, told NDTV Profit that pump owners have decided to observe Sunday offs from May 14 while from May 15, dealers will operate from 9 am to 6 pm.

Shinde also said the petrol dealers association will observe May 10 as a "No Purchase Day" to press for their demands.

"Not much of disruption is expected, but it will be an indication for oil companies to take note that dealers are on war path," he has been quoted as saying.

Shinde said oil marketing companies "have not honoured their written commitment of giving dealer margins in line with Apurva Chandra committee report".

The Consortium he heads represents 50,000 petrol pump dealers across the country.
