(a) & (b) : Government have not made any specific announcement for setting up of LPG agencies and Retail Outlets at every twenty five kilometers during the year 2000-2001. However, regular surveys are conducted by the Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies for identification of viable locations for setting up of Retails Outlets and LPG distributorship in the country as per the Oil Industry norms. Such viable locations are included in various Marketing Plans for selection of LPG distributorships and Retail Outlets through Dealer Selection Boards (DSBs)
