In a significant move to address rising demand, the oil products distribution company has announced an increase in the distribution of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) throughout January. This will take place via its existing distribution channels and the network of gas filling stations spread across the country.
Hussein Talib, the general manager of the company, reported an increase in LPG consumption, with citizens utilizing a substantial 31 million liters in the past month through both the distribution channels and gas packing companies.
In response to this surge in demand, two new outlets have been inaugurated: one at Nakheel Baghdad in the capital and another at Wadi Hatlan in Anbar Governorate. These outlets join the existing 74 gas distribution points operated by the company, alongside 53 outlets managed by the gas filling company, bringing the total to 127 gas supply locations to accommodate the escalating need for auto gas products among the populace.
Talib noted that LPG outlets are experiencing heightened consumer interest, largely attributable to the product’s affordability and numerous advantages.
Further emphasizing this growth, Falah Hashem, the director of equipment, mentioned that the number of vehicle gas outlets is expected to keep rising, with both government and private facilities driving this expansion. He confirmed that additional outlets are in the final stages of completion and will be introduced in the near future to enhance service capacity.
