Fuel outlets in the megapolis and the suburbs will remain open but with skeletal staff on Sunday and will operate only from 7 am to 7 pm from Monday till March 31 as the city is under lockdown.
The curtailed operations on Sunday is in response to the voluntary curfew call to public by the prime minister, the city’s dealers body said.
“The timing will be revised at the end of this month,” the Mumbai Petrol Dealers Association said on Saturday.
Curtailed time is an attempt to reduce risk of exposure to the pump attendants and yet keep the essential service open to the public albeit in limited hours, the statement said.
“No employees will lose their salaries for reduced working hours,” the statement added.
