ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM &
NATURAL GAS (SHRI DINSHA PATEL)
(a) to (c): Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) generally
select sites for Petroleum Depots away from
populated areas. However, because of the growth and
expansion of cities/towns, a few of these depots are
now located in populated areas in various parts of
the country. The position is being constantly
reviewed by the OMCs and action is taken either to
resite or to close down such Depots. The list of
depots that have been closed/resited/supplies
shifted in the recent past in the State of Andhra
Pradesh by IOC, BPCL and HPCL is at Annex.
