The Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) has decided to continue supplying fuel oil on weekly holidays (Friday and Saturday) to ensure market stability and maintain uninterrupted supply across the country.

In a message signed by BPC Deputy Secretary Shahina Sultana on Thursday, the corporation said the move aims to keep the supply of fuel oil normal in line with public demand.

According to the statement, the government has already scheduled fuel imports from abroad and shipments are arriving regularly as part of the planned supply chain.

At the same time, fuel is being distributed from the main installations to depots across the country through rail wagons and tankers on a regular basis to ensure smooth delivery to dealers.

Following directives from the Energy and Mineral Resources Division and BPC, the depots and main installations of the corporation’s marketing companies will remain open on government holidays to continue fuel distribution nationwide.

Earlier on Wednesday, BPC issued another directive to ease fuel supply pressure in divisional cities and meet public demand.

The corporation reduced the previous restriction on fuel allocation cutting the reduction in average sales of octane and petrol in divisional cities from 25 percent to 15 percent.

Under the revised instruction, filling stations will now receive fuel supplies based on the updated allocation chart to ensure smoother distribution.
