Chennaui, Oct 29 (Reporter) After remaining stagnant for a longer period, the fuel prices in the country are expected to come down, thanks to initiatives by the OMC's, who have hiked the petrol bunk dealers' commission on Tuesday night due to drop in crude prices globally. The decrease in prices is likely from midnight tonight ahead of the Deepavali festival. Sharing the posts on X by OMC's Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said "BPCL is pleased to announce an increase in Petrol Pump Dealers' Commission, effective tomorrow, for enhancing customer services and staff welfare at no additional cost to consumers. We wish our channel partners continued success in our shared vision of serving our customers with trust, convenience and reliability." "Additionally, as part of our commitment to affordable fuel, we're introducing intra-state freight rationalisation to reduce price disparities in Petrol/Diesel, benefiting consumers, especially in remote areas, except in states under Model Code of Conduct", it said. "Wishing everyone a joyous festive season ahead!@HardeepSPuri", he said. Further sharing, "On the auspicious occasion of Deepawali, HPCL is happy to announce revision in dealer commission effective 30th October 2024.
