Jio-bp, Nayara Energy ask dealers to sell less, keep pumps open

Private fuel marketing companies such as Jio-bp and Nayara Energy have advised their retailers to keep their pumps open and not display a dry out signboard, and also increase fuel prices to discourage sales, retailers told ET.

The move comes after the government on Friday brought all petrol pumps under the universal service obligation (USO), mandating that they must maintain supplies at reasonable prices during their specified working hours.
