Retailers seek compensation mechanism as Pakistan orders digital upgrade of fuel stations

KARACHI: Pakistan’s oil marketing companies have asked the government to create a “financially viable” cost-recovery mechanism before requiring the industry to digitize fuel stations nationwide, an initiative expected to exceed Rs50 billion ($178 million) in total investment, the Oil Companies Advisory Council (OCAC) said in a letter shared with Arab News on Wednesday. The digitization program, centered on installing Auto Tank Gauging (ATG) systems and digital fuel dispensers at all retail outlets, is part of a government push to modernize Pakistan’s fuel-supply chain.
