Product allocation is widely believed to be a source of quick and easy money in PPMC. How can one get this product allocation?
There are different types of products. The white products i.e PMS – Petrol, HHK – House Hold Kerosene, ATK – Aviation Turbine Kerosene, AGO – Diesel. These are allocated to Major and Independent Marketers. They sell these products in their various outlets. However, in the past these Marketers use powerful and influential members of the public to obtain allocation for products they do not actually require, and turn around to sell the products to those who actually need it. There are other products mainly for Industrial users who have operational facilities. These products such as LPFO, SRG, Bitumen & LPG are allocated to users directly. However, some of these industrial users prefer to sell the allocation instead of using the product in their factory. Machinery has been put in place to identify specific industries engaged in this bad practice for appropriate sanction. HPFO is mainly for export.
