The All Pakistan Petrol Pump Owners Association (APPPOA) and the Pakistan Petroleum Dealers Association (PPDA) are intensifying their demands for an 8% commission increase due to insufficient profit margins and rising operational costs. They have warned of shutting down fuel outlets if their demands are not addressed. Meanwhile, oil marketing companies are facing significant financial strain as they await Rs. 107 billion in outstanding price differential claims, with delays from the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) threatening corporate liquidity and the fuel supply chain. Industry representatives have expressed concerns over procedural uncertainties and proposed withholding measures that could further burden the sector.
