ROs are set  up  by  PSU  OMCs at identified locations based on field  survey and feasibility studies. Locations having sufficient potential and which are economically viable are rostered in the Marketing  Plans  for  setting  up  ROs.  Establishment  of  Compressed  Natural  Gas  (CNG) stations  is  part  of  development  of  City  Gas  Distribution  (CGD)  Network  and  the  same  is carried  out  by  the  entities,  authorized  by  Petroleum  and  Natural  Gas  Regulatory  Board (PNGRB),  who  establish  CNG  stations  based  on  their  approved  Minimum  Work  Plan  & techno commercial viability.

State /UT wise number of Retail Outlets (petrol pumps) and CNG Stations commissioned in the  country  in  the  last  year  2023-24  &current  year  2024-25  is  given  in Annexure-1  and Annexure-2 respectively.
