April 17, 2012. Over 40,000 petrol pumps across the country will shut their outlets for a day to press their demand for raising their commission on petrol by about 27 paise per litre and diesel by 14 paise per litre as recommended by an official panel. The association wants the government to implement the report of an official committee that recommended higher commissions and levy of user charges on services like filling up air and providing drinking water and toilets. Earlier, they were demanding a 5% commission. The government has fixed delears' commission at 1.49/litre commission on petrol and 0.91 paise/litre on diesel.
