(a) to (c) -

As  regards  Retail  Outlets,  Indian  Oil  Corporation  Limited  (IOCL),  Bharat  Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited (MRLP) and Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL) are the Public Sector Petroleum Companies presently engaged in sales of petrol and diesel in the country.  Reliance, Essar and Shell are the private companies presently engaged in sales of petrol and diesel in the country.

Government  Resolution  dated  08.03.2002  of  this  Ministry  has  a  provision  for  granting marketing rights  of  Motor  Spirit  (MS)  /  High  Speed  Diesel  (HSD)/  Aviation  Turbine  Fuel (ATF) to the new entrants, including the private sector, subject to the conditions mentioned therein.

Allotment of petrol pump is a commercial decision of Private Companies. The details of number of petrol pumps set up by Private Oil Company`s as of 01.04.2017 are as under :-

| Private Oil Company   |   Total No. of Retail Outlets |
|-----------------------|-------------------------------|
| RIL                   |                          1400 |
| ESSAR                 |                          3499 |
| SHELL                 |                            85 |
| TOTAL                 |                          4984 |

As regards LPG Distributorships, IOCL, BPCL and HPCL are engaged in sales of LPG in the country.

Parallel  Marketeer  (PM)  System  was  introduced  in  the  country  in  1993  wherein Parallel marketers  were  required  to  source  LPG  through  imports  for  their  requirement.  Further, Liquefied  Petroleum  Gas  (Regulation  of  Supply  and  Distribution)  Order,  2000  and  LPG (Regulation of Use in Motor Vehicles) Order, 2001, which were notified in the year 2000 and 2001 respectively, prohibit sale of LPG by any person other than a Government Oil Company, a parallel marketeer or a distributor to the consumer.

Any  entity  desiring  to  operate  as  a  parallel  marketeer  of   LPG  is  required  to  obtain certificate from any of the four rating agencies mentioned in the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Regulation of Supply and Distribution) Order, 2000 and LPG (Regulation of Use in Motor Vehicles)  Order,  2001  as  applicable.  Further,  the  entity  is  required  to  follow  rules  and regulations  as  contained  in  various  relevant  acts  and  orders  including  the  two  orders mentioned  above.  A  list  of  PMs  holding  rating  certificate  from  any  of  the  four  rating agencies as on 01.01.2017 is given at Annexure.
