ISLAMABAD: To ensure the uninterrupted availability of petroleum products and to discourage hoarding during periods of extreme price volatility, Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) may temporarily regulate supplies to retail outlets based on their historical sales patterns. This measure is a standard supply management practice aimed at maintaining stability in the distribution system. The public is reassured that the country currently holds adequate stocks of petrol and diesel, well within the required limits. There is no shortage of petroleum products. Citizens are advised not to pay attention to rumors and to rely only on information issued through official channels. Copyright Business Recorder, 2026
