Rush at Talapady Petrol Pump Continues as Vehicle Owners From Kerala Border Areas Come Here For Fuel

The prices of petrol and diesel becoming cheaper in Karnataka compared to almost all neighbouring States from November 4 due to a reduction in State duties along with a cut in Central excise. This has led to an increase in commuters at fuel stations in border areas to fill the fuel. Vehicle owners in border districts of Kerala and Dakshina Kannada are queueing up at fuel stations at Talapady where petrol is cheaper by around ₹5 per litre and diesel by about ₹10 per litre.
At Talapady Service Station of Indian Oil Corporation at Talapady in Dakshina Kannada district on the Kerala border, sale of diesel has increased from about 3,000 litres a day to 11,000 litres, and that of petrol from 1,000 litres to about 4,000 litres.

Coinciding with reduction of petrol and diesel retail prices in Karnataka, production of these fuel at Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd. (MRPL), which caters to major parts of Karnataka, has seen a jump. The production of petrol for domestic market witnessed about 30% increase to pre-COVID-19 days — from around 90,000 tonnes to around 1.3 lakh tonnes a month, said MRPL spokesperson Rudolph V.J.
