What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Jio-BP and Nayara Energy are implementing quantity restrictions on diesel purchases at their retail outlets due to market pressure from bulk buyers. Jio-BP outlets have reportedly capped purchases at 50 litres per customer per day, while Nayara Energy limits reportedly range from 70 to 200 litres per transaction. Indian Oil Corporation is also reportedly considering quantity restrictions, though they are currently selling fuel without such limits.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The restrictions are driven by a price gap between retail fuel prices, which have remained unchanged since May, and international crude oil prices, which have risen to around USD 108 a barrel. This divergence prompts large industrial and commercial users to increasingly purchase through retail outlets, affecting the operational model of the fuel companies.
