Begusarai Petrol Pump Owners Reveal Slim Margins, Not 'Big Shots'
- •Petrol pump owners in Begusarai district reveal surprisingly low profit margins, debunking the common perception of them being wealthy.
- •Commission for petrol is only 4 rupees and 3 paise per liter, while for diesel it's even lower at 2.57 rupees per liter.
- •This meager commission must cover all operational expenses including salaries, electricity, generator fuel, and maintenance.
- •Profitability heavily depends on high sales volume; pumps with low customer traffic struggle to cover monthly costs.
- •Oil companies offer an additional incentive or bonus commission if sales targets are met, providing crucial relief to owners.
Why It Matters: Petrol pump owners operate on surprisingly thin margins, with profitability tied directly to high sales volume and incentives.
