In a significant move towards digitizing Pakistan’s oil supply chain, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), in collaboration with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and the Oil Companies Advisory Council (OCAC), has launched a mobile application named ‘Rahguzar’. This innovative app aims to assist consumers in locating legal fuel stations across the country.
Features of ‘Rahguzar’
The ‘Rahguzar’ app utilizes Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to provide a detailed map of legal fuel stations across Pakistan. Users can distinguish between licensed petrol pumps and illegal “box stations”. The app also allows consumers to report issues such as overcharging, substandard fuel quality, or other concerns directly to the relevant authorities.
Impact on Consumers and Authorities
For consumers, ‘Rahguzar’ offers a user-friendly platform to identify authorized fuel outlets, ensuring they receive quality fuel at fair prices. For district authorities and law enforcement agencies, the app provides a tool to identify illegal petrol pumps, report overcharging, and raise quality concerns. This initiative marks a significant step in the digitization of Pakistan’s oil supply chain.
The launch of ‘Rahguzar’ represents a significant advancement in Pakistan’s efforts to modernize its oil supply chain. By leveraging technology, the app aims to enhance transparency, empower consumers, and ensure the availability of quality fuel across the country.
