Southeast Asia Information Port (www.dnyxxg.com) – To ensure a stable supply of fuel nationwide, the Petroleum Products Regulatory Bureau of Myanmar's Ministry of Energy is organizing officials to conduct special on-site inspections of gas stations across the country. The focus is on monitoring fuel sales, inventory, and distribution, and strictly cracking down on violations such as refusal to sell and hoarding.
The Ministry of Energy stated that it currently has approximately 40 days' worth of fuel reserves, sufficient to meet normal domestic demand. This fuel is being transported from the Thilawa storage base in Yangon to gas stations nationwide via tanker trucks, and all stations are supplying fuel according to regulations. For gas stations with high sales demand, the authorities have approved emergency additional purchase orders to ensure a balance between supply and demand.
To strengthen the effectiveness of supervision, the Director General of the Petroleum Products Regulatory Bureau has activated a real-time monitoring mechanism in Naypyidaw to verify the actual amount of fuel delivered to gas stations. Regulatory personnel in various regions and states are also conducting joint inspections with relevant departments, verifying fuel deliveries and sales through methods such as measuring remaining fuel levels and calibrating Automatic Tank Tolerance (ATG) systems to ensure smooth distribution channels and prevent supply shortages at the source.
The Ministry of Energy also issued a call for the public to purchase oil rationally and avoid unnecessary panic buying; if a gas station refuses to sell oil without reason, complaints can be filed through the official hotline. Once a complaint is verified, relevant departments will take severe punitive measures against the gas station involved, including temporary closure, to effectively safeguard market order and public rights.
