Diesel lottery refers to the allocation system for diesel fuel in India, particularly during periods of supply shortages or price fluctuations. This system is implemented to ensure fair distribution of diesel among consumers and industries.
In India, diesel is a crucial fuel for transportation, agriculture, and power generation. The lottery system may be used by government authorities or oil marketing companies to allocate limited diesel supplies to eligible applicants, such as truck operators, farmers, or industrial units, based on predefined criteria or random selection.
The implementation of a diesel lottery aims to prevent hoarding, black marketing, and ensure equitable access to this essential resource across different regions and sectors of the Indian economy. |
