Chennai: Beginning 14th May, petrol pumps in eight States will be closed on Sundays following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call to conserve oil, a Fuel Pump Owners’ Body said in Chennai yesterday.
“We had planned to shut our outlets on Sundays a few years back. But Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) had then requested us to reconsider our decision. Now we have decided to shut the outlets on Sundays,” said Suresh Kumar, an Executive Committee Member of the consortium of Indian Petroleum Dealers.
