The process of digitizing the supply chain of petroleum products is underway across the country to curb smuggling and theft, with the first-phase prototype expected to launch in the coming weeks.
According to the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), work is progressing rapidly to digitize the records of 35 oil marketing companies and refineries. In the first phase, data on imported and locally refined petroleum products will be collected, followed by a testing process.
In the second phase, petrol pump sales will be digitized and linked to the Federal Board of Revenue. The Punjab Information Technology Board aims to complete both phases within one year.
