 FICCI POLICY RECOMMENDATION

 Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) supply at Mumbai Airport: FICCI welcomed the initiative
of Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) on declaring the ATF
pipelines currently owned and controlled by BPC and HPC as “common carrier”, and
bringing them under the applicable regulations. The same was put forward towards
the Ministry of Civil Aviation by FICCI after gathering inputs from our members.

 Transporter’s strike: FICCI has made a recommendation to the Ministry of Road

Transport & Highways on taking necessary actions for curtailing the nation-wide strike
by the All India Motor Transport Congress (AIMTC). The strike had taken a toll on the
businesses of the various sectors in the economy. In view of the same, after receiving
inputs from members and member associations, FICCI made a request to the ministry
for a speedy intervention and resolution of the matter.
