Oil Ministry to deploy tactical teams for petrol pump inspections, says Team Bharat
Enhanced inspections, stronger quality checks and public reporting aim to improve fuel transparency and curb adulteration across petrol retail outlets nationwide
Team Bharat has announced that the Oil Ministry will deploy Tactical Crack Teams to inspect petrol pumps regularly, with the inspections already underway. The meeting involving Team Bharat and officials from both the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas and the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways took place today, as per a statement released by Team Bharat.
The Tactical Crack Teams will inspect petrol pumps eight to twelve times daily, with the focus on monitoring fuel quality to detect moisture, chloride, and other forms of adulteration. Citizens who have evidence of fuel adulteration can now share documented evidence with Team Bharat, who will work directly with the Ministry to take appropriate action.
Discussions on E20 implementation, pricing, and policy will continue, with the ultimate goal of ensuring clean fuel, transparency, and accountability for the citizens of India. The team emphasized that this is not a political issue but about ensuring citizens have access to clean fuel.
