Why does the diesel lobby hate CNG?
Diesel bus drivers
CNG can't be siphoned off like diesel. According to G S Cheema, former managing director of Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC), at least Rs 50,000 worth of diesel per DTC bus is siphoned off every year.
Diesel refineries, transporters and retailers
All along the supply chain huge amounts of money are made by adulterating diesel. Retailers have repeatedly argued that the commission given to them by oil companies is very small. All kinds of waste products and solvents from oil refineries, as well as kerosene, get bunged into diesel.
