Indian Oil will build 50 petrol pumps in Sri Lanka

India Oil is preparing to open 50 more petrol up across Sri Lanka in order to expand its business in the neighbouring country. It has 16% market share in retail market of petrol-diesel there, which makes it one of the important players in Sri Lanka.

It is to be noted that Sri Lanka is facing severe petrol and diesel crisis in recent times with its Foreign exchange reserve drying up. Therefore, it is getting harder for the country to purchase crude oil from the markets around the globe. Long queues of vehicles have been seen in front of petrol pumps, waiting for their turn to fill petrol and diesel.
