ISLAMABAD: The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has reaffirmed its commitment to eliminating solvent mixing in petroleum products, underscoring that all actions are being taken strictly within its legal mandate under the OGRA Ordinance, 2002.
Citing Section 30 of the Ordinance, OGRA stated that all licensees are obligated to provide complete information related to their licensed operations and products. The Authority’s recent data request from Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) regarding solvent oil is part of a broader crackdown on product misuse, aimed at preventing materials designated for industrial purposes from being illegally blended with motor gasoline.
OGRA warned that such practices not only compromise fuel quality and consumer safety but also deprive the government of significant revenue.
Reaffirming its regulatory stance, OGRA stated that it remains committed to ensuring transparency, fair competition, and strict compliance across the petroleum sector while safeguarding public interest and maintaining the integrity of fuel supply nationwide.
