Jio-bp and Nayara Limit Diesel Sales as Bulk Buyers Shift to Cheaper Retail Fuel
Private fuel retailers Jio-bp and Nayara Energy have capped diesel purchases at their petrol pumps, limiting customers to between 50 and 200 litres daily. This move responds to industrial and bulk consumers shifting to retail outlets to benefit from a price gap of up to Rs 40 per litre between retail and bulk diesel prices. Public sector companies Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum are also expected to impose similar restrictions amid rising crude oil prices and steady retail fuel rates since May.
