IndianOil update on fuel supplies status in Chennai city:

1. 81% of IndianOil petrol pumps are operational in Chennai CMDA area (126 out of 156) dispensing petrol and diesel. The complete list, including telephone numbers and address of petrol pump dealers, have been uploaded on www.iocl.com website.
2. Work is in full swing to get the other waterlogged retail outlets fully operational.
3. IndianOil's Korukkupet terminal loaded 140 tank trucks yesterday and has so far filled 75 tank trucks (till afternoon on Sunday) today to feed Chennai city outlets. As Korukkupet area is heavily waterlogged, maneuvering fuel trucks has been found difficult, due to which movement of tank trucks has been slow - to and from the terminal.
4. Hence as an alternative arrangement, adequate products are being sourced from Chittoor, Bangalore, Salem and Trichy markets. 5. All efforts are being made to feed Chennai city with adequate product supplies.
