(a) to (d): During the last three years and current year, 26 retail outlets (ROs) have been
allotted out of which 10 ROs have already been commissioned by public sector oil marketing
companies (OMCs.), viz., Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOC), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation
Limited (HPC) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPC) in Rajkot and Porbandar areas in
the state of Gujarat. The company-wise, category-wise and place-wise details are available with
Director (Marketing) of OMCs.
The endeavour of the OMCs is to commission the RO dealership at the earliest.However,
commissioning of RO dealerships involves various steps such as field verification of
credentials of selected candidates, issue of Letter of Intent (LOI), procurement of land,
obtaining various statutory approvals, construction work, etc. Hence, commissioning of RO
dealership after allotment is achieved over a period of time.
