Iran must delay petrol rationing: MP
TEHERAN - Iran needs to postpone until September a plan scheduled for implementation this month to ration petrol that is expected to have a huge impact on the economy, a top MP was quoted as saying on Monday.
The plan, aimed at reducing the lavish subsidies that keep petrol prices low, should be put off as the technology to enforce the rationing is not ready, the head of parliament’s energy commission, Kamal Daneshyar said according to local media.
“Based on the studies of our commission the ground is not ready to implement the rationing using smart cards, so we have to give another chance to the government,” said Daneshyar.
“We have received reports that the devices for reading the smart cardsbreak down quickly and some pumps end up working backwards. This means that instead of pumping petrol they suck up the petrol from the vehicles,” he added.
“Therefore until these problems are addressed, the rationing project has to be postponed until around end of September,” he concluded.
The lavish consumption by Iranian drivers, encouraged by the subsidised prices that work out less than a comparable amount of minera.
