As Nowruz travelers began their journeys at the beginning of this week, the country's daily gasoline consumption reached more than 132 million liters on Sunday, March 16, 2024.
The CEO of the National Iranian Petroleum Products Distribution Company said: "Sufficient fuel has been stored in oil depots to provide the desired fuel supply for Nowruz, and we will not have a shortage in this regard during the upcoming holidays."
The CEO of the National Iranian Petroleum Products Distribution Company emphasized the supply of gasoline and oil and gas through the smart fuel system platform and said: "Study work on a new plan for refueling through the banking network is underway and will be implemented if approved by the Cabinet of Ministers."
The Minister of Oil told reporters: "We currently have no plans for Nowruz gasoline quotas."
The director of the Tehran Regional Oil Pipelines and Telecommunications Company announced the complete readiness of this complex to supply fuel to Tehran Province and the northern half of the provinces during Nowruz, saying: "The necessary arrangements have been made to provide the petroleum products needed by the people and travelers during the Nowruz holidays."
The CEO of the National Iranian Petroleum Products Distribution Company announced the total amount of liquid fuel delivered to the country's power plants since the beginning of the year at 20 billion 800 million liters, saying: "This amount has increased by 6 billion liters compared to the same period last year."
The plan to transfer gasoline quotas from fuel cards to bank accounts is one of the latest changes in fuel distribution policies in Iran, which was proposed to increase transparency, prevent smuggling, and improve fuel consumption management. This idea has been discussed several times in recent years, and finally, a contract for the pilot implementation of this plan was signed yesterday.
Mir Salim said: "We cannot pour gasoline down people's throats for free at this price."
The CEO of the National Iranian Petroleum Refining and Distribution Company announced: Super gasoline importers will offer their gasoline through the energy exchange.
The CEO of the National Petroleum Products Refining and Distribution Company said: "We hope that within the coming months, in coordination with the Central Bank, the Ministry of Economy, and the Non-Operational Defense Organization, we will be able to implement a new refueling model based on the bank accounts of car owners."
