据路透社10月23日报道称，印度信息和广播部长表示，印度内阁周三放宽了在该国设立加油站的规定，此举可能有助于私营和外国公司进入一个以国有公司为主导的行业。

Prakash Javadekar在新闻发布会上说，新规定将允许企业建立电动汽车充电站，并通过其加油站出售天然气、汽油和柴油。

Javadekar说：“公司将能够在其加油站出售各种运输燃料。”

包括沙特阿美、托克的下游子公司彪马能源和法国道达尔在内的全球石油公司都有意在印度建立加油站，印度预计未来几年燃料需求将增长。

India eases rules for entry into fuel retail sector

India’s cabinet on Wednesday relaxed norms for setting up fuel stations in the country, the information and broadcasting minister said, a move that could help private and foreign firms to enter a sector dominated by state-owned companies.

The new rules will allow companies to set up electric vehicle charging stations, and sell gas, petrol and diesel at their pumps, Prakash Javadekar told a news conference.

“Companies would be able to sell all sorts of transportation fuels at their petrol pumps,” Javadekar said.

Global oil companies including Saudi Aramco, Trafigura’s downstream arm Puma Energy and France’s Total are interested in setting up fuel stations in India, where fuel demand is expected to rise in the years to come.
