Since Monday morning, fuel stations in Hyderabad saw heavy crowds. Across the city, motorists waited in long lines. In addition, autos and goods vehicles also joined the queues.

During peak hours, many customers asked for full tanks. Consequently, fuel stocks at some pumps dropped faster than usual. For this reason, dealers needed time to refill storage tanks.

Dealers explain “No Stock” boards

In some cases, pumps displayed “No Stock” signs. However, this only showed a temporary gap. Technically, refilling underground tanks takes time.
