Each filling station will take on an additional 300 trips for commercial users and 250 new tankers have been arranged for which drivers will be recruited shortly.
Moreover, a total of 20 new filling stations would also be operational by the first week of next month. Of them, six are within the GHMC limits, and the remaining are in the areas within the ORR.
