Realty greed may outcome in closure of 88 Mumbai petrol pumps


Soaring land prices in Mumbai is taking a toll on the city’s gasoline pumps too as landowners of these fuel positions are giving in to the lure of real land parcel.
Townies may shortly have to proceed to the suburbs to refuel vehicles and two wheelers.
According to a report in the financial Times today financial towers or malls will uproot one-third of the city’s 227 pumps inside five years as proprietors extend to reclaim their land for more profitable reasons. And why shouldn’t they? Oil marketing companies are bleeding red while fuel pump dealers are just making nominal earnings. They will not ever be adept to afford the rates pledged by a realtor who outlooks any accessible land in the isle city as a ‘gold mine’ and the only way these proprietors will renew the lease is if OMCs can promise to pay the market rates.

recall the fate of the gasoline pump next to the Cricket Club of India in Churchgate, which has made way for a parking allotment or the Bharat Petroleum fuel position on Juhu Tara street which was lately demolished? Even the HPCL gasoline propel near Nanawati hospital along SV Road, Vile Parle and the one next to Sena Bhavan at Dadar have given way to a multi-storeyed shopping centre. The situation is worse in South Mumbai where five pumps have been closed in the last two years.
“In the Pedder street area, of the five retail outlets, one is currently shut and there are ongoing court situations for two sites,” the ET report supplemented.
Currently, land proprietors are free to change the usage of their land after lease affirmations for pumps expire while former to 2005, oil trading businesses were defended from eviction by land owners under the Maharashtra lease Control proceed.
Another report in DNA, citing facts and figures from the Petrol trader Association says, of the 253 gasoline pumps in the town, 88 are privately owned and are expected to face closure one time the lease ends.
OMCs like Indian Oil company, HPCL and Bharat Petroleum have been requiring that gasoline propel sites be announced as designated reserve sites one time again so that land owners of these pumps can’t deal plots to builders for building of financial or residential complexes since it can only be used for gasoline and diesel pumps.
