Karachi (HRNW) — The Pakistan Petroleum Dealers Association (PPDA) has rejected the government’s proposed margin and warned of shutting petrol pumps across the country.
PPDA Chairman Abdul Sami Khan stated that the association had requested an 8% margin from the government, without which operating the pumps is not feasible.
He added that if the government does not increase the dealers’ margin to 8%, the pumps will be forced to close.
Abdul Sami Khan further mentioned that the government has been given 10 days to respond, after which the dealers will convene their core committee to announce a final decision.
He noted that currently, dealers are receiving only a 3.12% margin, and the government must provide a written assurance to raise it to 8%.
The chairman also suggested that the government could increase the margin in installments if needed.
