Muscat, Oman - In an effort to ensure fuel remains accessible to consumers, the government has implemented a temporary measure limiting fuel purchases to 30 litres at a time at petrol stations within 50 kilometres of border crossings. This decision, approved by the National Subsidy Committee, aims to regulate fuel demand and prevent depletion of supplies, according to the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion.
Nasra bint Sultan Al Habsi, Director General of Commerce at the ministry, disclosed the measure during an interview with Oman Radio. The restriction, which allows multiple refuellings in a day, was introduced to manage demand and alleviate pressure on fuel supplies.
