Islamabad: Report by Muhammad saleem Pakistan’s oil marketing companies (OMCs) have warned the government of a potential petrol shortage, urging immediate intervention as the country’s fuel reserves have fallen to levels sufficient for only 15 days of demand.
According to the oil companies, Pakistan currently has petrol (motor spirit) stocks equivalent to just 15 days of national consumption, raising concerns over the continuity of fuel supplies.
In a communication sent to the government, the companies cautioned that without urgent action, the country could face disruptions in the supply of petrol, potentially affecting transportation, industrial operations, and everyday economic activities.
The OMCs have called on the government to take immediate measures to ensure timely imports, strengthen supply chain management, and maintain adequate fuel reserves to prevent any shortage.
