Fake diesel business increased in the name of bio diesel in Chhattisgarh
State government is serious to prevent illegal business of base oil in the state
In Chhattisgarh these days the net of illegal business of base oil in the name of bio-diesel is spreading. Due to this the license holder petrol pump owners are in trouble. However, the state government is also serious about preventing this illegal business. A notification published from the Chhattisgarh Gazette (Extraordinary) Authority has been issued to strictly prevent illegal trading of Base Oil.
In fact, illegal trading of base oil has disturbed the equation of sale of diesel. The most surprising thing is that even though biodiesel is not being produced in the state, a large quantity of base oil is being sold in the name of biodiesel. Pump operators are troubled by the declining diesel sales, while the engines of trucks, tractors and other vehicles have started getting damaged due to substandard diesel.
According to the information, these days imported base oil is being sold in the name of diesel. Let us tell you that base oil is cheaper by Rs 30 to 35 per liter than diesel. The people doing this illegal business have spread their net all over Chhattisgarh and now they have also developed new ways to sell it. The news is that big tankers are standing in one place and selling base oil through small portable tankers. It is worth noting that recycled oil is made from acid, the same fake base oil is being sold in the name of diesel. Fake biodiesel has actually been prepared in a factory in Anand district of Gujarat and has come to Chhattisgarh illegally. It is said that in this factory illegally recycled as raw material (oil used in trucks and other vehicles) to make bio diesel and acid is used as oil catalyst. It is through this that this illegal bio-diesel is made.
Here the Bhupesh government of Chhattisgarh has taken the illegal business of base oil in the state very seriously. For its strict prevention, a notification published from Chhattisgarh Gazette (Extraordinary) authority has been issued, copy of this notification on August 24, 2021 by Rajiv Kumar Jaiswal Additional Director, Food Civil Supplies and Consumer Protection Department, Raipur, in relation to taking appropriate action.

Fake diesel coming in ship from gulf countries
It has been learned from the sources that base oil diesel (fake diesel) from Gulf countries is reaching Gujarat by sea route in India. From where it is brought to Orissa, after some process here, it is being supplied directly to those big factories or factories in Chhattisgarh, which have their own consumer diesel pumps, from here it is sent to different districts of the state through big tankers. Base oil diesel is cheaper by about Rs 30-35 per liter than old diesel, so its consumption is increasing continuously. This is a kind of illegal business and profit is also high in it. The share of black money of base oil diesel is also more or to say that the whole work is being done like a channel in the information of government employees. The delegation of Chhattisgarh Petrol Diesel Association has met the successful Chief Minister of the state Bhupesh Baghel. The Bhupesh government has taken this seriously and has given strict instructions for the prevention of base oil diesel.
