Rajasthan Petrol Pumps to Remain Shut for Two Days Due to 'No Purchase No Sale' Strike

Starting tomorrow, petrol pumps in Rajasthan will be closed for two days due to a strike called by petroleum dealers. The strike is a response to pricing policies and profit margin grievances faced by the dealers. Rajasthan Petroleum Dealers Association (RPDA) will be observing a 48-hour strike due to a lack of response from the government regarding their demands.

Rajasthan petrol pumps will remain shut for two days due to a 'No Purchase No Sale' strike.

The RPDA is concerned about the current pricing mechanism and how it affects their profitability. They argue that the existing pricing structure and high taxes from governments have significantly reduced their margins, making it difficult to sustain their businesses. Business owners are facing operational cost challenges as they struggle to maintain profitability. These costs, including electricity and maintenance, are squeezing profits. Without a solution, the businesses could become economically unviable.

The upcoming 'No Purchase No Sale' strike could have significant consequences for the state, leading to fuel supply disruptions and inconveniences for consumers. It may also impact sectors like transportation, agriculture, and manufacturing that rely on uninterrupted fuel access. The petroleum dealers are planning a strike, and it is uncertain if the government will negotiate with them. The RPDA is willing to have discussions with the government to find a solution.

With the strike deadline approaching, there is concern over potential fuel scarcity in Rajasthan. Authorities and consumers hope for a quick resolution to avoid disruptions to daily life and the economy.
