Indian Oil asks Gujarat pump dealers to desist from one-day weekly protest

Indian Oil is asking petrol pump dealers in Gujarat to desist from participating in a one day weekly no purchase – no sale call. In a strongly worded letter, the marketing division of Indian Oil’s Rajkot office told dealers that taking part in the protest call by the Federation of Gujarat Petroleum Dealers’ Association (FGPDA) is in contravention to the agreements they have signed. The dealers are demanding a hike in dealer margins.

According to the letter by Indian Oil, the protest is causing inconvenience the public.

“Please refer to the Dealership Agreement entered into by and between our Corporation and you, whereby you have been appointed as our dealer for retail sale of petroleum products in compliance with the terms and conditions of the said Dealership agreement.
