The government issues an order limiting industrial, commercial, and institutional buyers from purchasing petrol and diesel from regular retail fuel stations. According to reports, the restrictions are intended to curb unusually high demand, particularly for diesel, linked to price differences between retail sales and bulk supplies. The measures direct these consumers to obtain fuel through authorised bulk supply channels instead of retail outlets. The order is set to operate for up to 90 days. One report notes that an order dated June 11 requires such users to switch to dedicated bulk procurement routes. Another source adds that the government can also instruct retail outlets not to sell beyond specified limits during the period of supply stress—for example, a reported daily cap of 200 litres of diesel per customer or vehicle at a retail station. Fuel purchased via the bulk route is not allowed to be resold, reinforcing that the intent is to allocate fuel for end-use rather than diversion. The overall effect is to redirect bulk needs away from retail pumps and preserve fuel availability for ordinary consumers.
