The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has reaffirmed its commitment to eliminating solvent mixing in petroleum products, in line with directives from the Federal Government.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the OGRA spokesperson stated that the authority is taking necessary actions within its legal jurisdiction to ensure that solvent oil, meant for industrial use, is not misused or blended with motor gasoline (petrol). This initiative aims to maintain fuel quality, consumer safety, and protection of government revenues.
OGRA emphasized that under Section 30 of the OGRA Ordinance, 2002, all licensed oil marketing companies are obligated to provide detailed information about their products and operations. The recent request for data on solvent oil usage is part of a broader campaign to curb fuel adulteration and enforce compliance.
The statement further highlighted OGRA’s commitment to transparency, fair competition, and regulatory compliance, ensuring the nationwide availability of standardized petroleum products in the public interest.
