Sites for petrol pumps, including CNG filling points and charging stations for electric vehicles, will be auctioned from now in Haryana, it was decided in a meeting chaired by chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Friday.
Haryana government has taken the decision to bring in transparency in the allotment of such sites. The decision came during the 113th meeting of Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP).
The CM said though petrol pump sites were allotted to petroleum companies, instead of individuals, at present, the decision to allot sites for petrol pumps, CNG filling stations and electric vehicle charging stations only through an auction would make the entire allotment process more transparent. The CM also directed that plots in the auto market of Sector 12, Bahadurgarh, be allotted through an auction at lower prices in the interest of trade.
