The federal government has decided to introduce a nationwide digital fuel management system at petrol pumps, under which citizens may be assigned fixed petrol quotas for their private vehicles.
Official sources told ProPakistani that once the policy is formally approved, individuals will not be allowed to purchase petrol beyond their allocated quota limit.
Preparations for implementing the system are nearing completion.
The Ministry of Information Technology has finalized testing of mobile devices that will be deployed at fuel stations across the country. Documents indicate that the National Information Technology Board (NITB) has verified the mobile handsets to be provided to oil marketing companies, while testing of the fuel management application installed on these devices has also been completed.
Officials said the Ministry of IT has submitted the project summary to the Cabinet Division. The Secretary for IT and Telecommunication has formally written to the Cabinet Division, requesting further approval and coordination.
The ministry has also asked the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) to issue directives to oil marketing companies regarding the procurement of the required mobile devices for operational rollout.
Only mobile phones approved by both NITB and the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) will be used under the system. Each device, estimated to cost around Rs. 36,000, will enable digital monitoring of fuel sales at petrol pumps nationwide.
The cost of supplying these devices will be borne by oil marketing companies. NITB will procure the handsets and distribute them after payment processing through OGRA.
Under the implementation framework, oil marketing companies will distribute the approved devices to fuel stations across Pakistan. Officials say key groundwork (including device verification, application testing, and operational evaluation) has already been completed.
The petrol quota mechanism will operate through a dedicated mobile application developed under the Pakistan Digital Authority initiative.
landu idea conceived by bunch of landus.
Like failed diesel subsidy, transporters rejected and increased fares etc by 30-40%..This system will be a failure too to micro manage a society with majority illeterate…. Instead GoP should stop this subsidy nonsense, unsustainable free buses, prices adjust as per weekly routine instead of PM controlling and appears on TV… His holding of prices and bombshell after 3- weeks just added dirt on GoP. Face. Consumers rush and hoarding all can be avoided plus educate economizing transport use..
remove tax on EVs so people can switch
Government should deregulate the fuel sector. Let the companies import and sell fuel so that there is healthy competition and prices are competitive. This is not for governments to handle. Secondly, regulating sale to private vehicle is challengable in court as this is our constutional right.
2 number government , 2 number decisions,
Rs 100 is only tax per litre, why not remove that,
Why not limit petrol for bearucrats, government officials and ministers
Not a good idea 😔
kin chutiyo kay aisay ideas hain. Braindead zionist patwari dogs.
remove all taxes on plug-in hybrids such as deepal S05 and EVs like byd . many people have extra solar generation during day
Horrible idea. Fuel prices are enough to prevent hoarding.
American slaves. Illuminati agenda. Petrol wese bhi ub mostly ki auqaat se bahir hai jahil ke bachon.
Government has badly failed to facilitate the poor masses, instead it is busy looting it’s own masses . If it is sincere with the people it should remove all the taxes and levy on buying electric vehicles and E bikes .
So why is That limit not imposed on politicians and leaders that get free ?
I thought during such crisis situations the countries gain some wisdom. I was wrong. There will be no end to our stupidities. And this is one example.
Limiting petrol Quota, will promote corruption. For influential people in Pakistan,no limits,but needy people Will have to purchase petrol with high price, from black market
You all leaving comments are bunch of stupid sheeps. This is part of NWO Agenda 2030
A moronic decision by brainless nitwits
Every problem is being faced by an ordinary person/ public. The law is implemented on the normal citizen, where as the government is running cars and jets like rickshaw with no fuel limits.
Government must impose a fuel quota for the government vehicles. Rather it. Should impose a ban on the use of official cars with no movement on Friday Saturday and sunday
just another scheme to get money from innocent citizens of Pakistan. No body is stopping your ships you have no restrictions and yet we are facing fuel shortages price hikes, how much more can people of Pakistan bear and then will come out of their shells :/ Dead nation
It means that If some one in case of emergency has to travel from one city to another he will not be able to do that, how the policy makers think. How one can estimate fuel usage this is ridiculous and seems to be a part of global digitalisation program
Austerity begins at home…. Common sense says those imposing the austerity must apply the same rules to themselves.
