Dealers of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) pumps in Gujarat have announced an indefinite strike from Friday demanding a hike in the existing dealer margin.
The Federation of Gujarat Petroleum Dealer’s Association (FGPDA), which has 800 dealer-pumps in Gujarat, is set to meet the Principal Secretary for Civil Supplies on Thursday in an attempt to find a resolution to the issue. Arvind Thakkar, FGDPA president, said that the margin revision is due since 2019.
Thakkar said, “The dealer margin was due for revision on July 1, 2019. But it is now nearly four years; and an extremely tough Covid-19 phase has also passed.
