• OCAC demands urgent meeting with PM, seeks his intervention • Calls for release of Rs66bn in withheld PDCs; urges Ogra to settle all claims by June 8 • Labels Level-3 EV charger mandates impractical without wide adoption ISLAMABAD: The country’s oil industry has protested the slow disbursement of their price differential claims (PDCs) against cheaper petroleum product supplies to consumers in early days of US-Iran war and proposed tax on windfall inventory gains in the coming budget. In a letter to the prime minister, Oil Companies’ Advisory Council (OCAC) — a cartel representing around three dozen oil marketing companies and refineries — demanded an urgent meeting on oil industry’s pressing challenges. OCAC Chairman Asif Iqbal said the meeting of leadership of top 10 oil industry players with the prime minister was crucial to discuss the critical issues that are adversely impacting the financial sustainability of the downstream petroleum sector. “The oil industry is currently facing acute liquidity constraints and growing financial pressures owing to delayed recoveries, rising operating costs, increasing compliance requirements and policy uncertainties,” Mr Iqbal wrote to the prime minister, urging timely policy intervention for stability. The OCAC chief said the outstanding PDCs worth about Rs54 billion had been released to the industry, while outstanding claims of around Rs66bn still remained pending. “The prolonged delay in settlement of these claims has severely impacted cash flows and resulted in a significant liquidity crisis for OMCs,” he said adding that despite extensive verification through internal and external audits, only a portion of the verified claims had been disbursed so far. The OCAC demanded that Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) be directed to facilitate the release of all outstanding claims by June 8 in order to provide much-needed relief to the industry. Next, the oil industry agitated against the proposed taxation in the coming budget on inventory gains retained by it as prices maintained a rising trend. It said a high-powered committee had reportedly been constituted to review the cross-subsidy mechanism and examine the possible recovery of inventory gains arising from fluctuations in international oil prices. While supporting the review in theory, the industry demanded that the review be conducted with fairness and consistency. Under the prevailing policy directive, OMCs are required to maintain a mandatory stock cover of 20 days; therefore, any mechanism addressing inventory gains must also equitably recognise inventory losses under the same principle, in the event of adverse price movements. The OCAC raised the issue of marketing margins unchanged for almost three years. It said the revisions are pending since September 2023 despite rising costs and inflation. This erosion of margins has worsened financial challenges and limited investment in essential infrastructure. The OCAC requested the PM’s help to create a fair and predictable annual margin adjustment mechanism for sector sustainability. The federal cabinet had tied increased marketing margins for OMCs and dealers to digitising product stocks for online visibility to prevent hoarding and misreporting, but this process is still incomplete. After that, the OCAC noted that mandatory installation of Level-3 fast EV chargers at petrol stations involves high costs and isn’t viable without widespread EV use, affordable manufacturing and supporting infrastructure. Moreover, the industry stated that requiring K-Forms (clearance for explosive safety) for new retail outlets to include EV charger installation was hindering retail network growth. This condition caused delays in opening completed outlets, discouraged investments in new sites, diverted funds from crucial infrastructure and posed a risk of stranded assets. It demanded a corresponding marketing margin support and a commercially viable framework to facilitate the effective implementation of such initiatives. Published in Dawn, June 1st, 2026

US President Donald Trump said on May 29 that Iran must commit to never developing a nuclear weapon and ensure unrestricted shipping movement through the Strait of Hormuz, while indicating that discussions involving Tehran, Washington and international agencies were moving towards a possible understanding on key security issues in the region.In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the Strait of Hormuz should remain open without any restrictions or tolls for commercial shipping traffic in both directions. He also claimed that naval restrictions imposed earlier in the region would be lifted, allowing stranded ships to resume movement.Trump further said any water mines present in the strategic waterway would be removed or destroyed in coordination with Iranian authorities. He claimed that US naval operations had already neutralised several mines in the region.Also read | US inflation rises to 3.8% in April, highest level in nearly 3 years"The enriched material, sometimes referred to as “Nuclear Dust,” which is buried deep underground with virtually collapsed mountains, caused by our powerful B2 Bomber attack 11 months ago, sitting on top of it, will be unearthed by the United States (which, it is agreed, is the only Country, along with China, with the mechanical capability of doing so!), in close coordination and conjunction with the Islamic Republic of Iran, plus the International Atomic Energy Agency, and DESTROYED. No money will be exchanged, until further notice. Other items, of far less importance, have been agreed to," Trump's post read."I will be meeting now, in the Situation Room, to make a final determination. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" he signed off.The remarks come amid heightened geopolitical tensions in West Asia and renewed global concerns over Iran’s nuclear programme, maritime security and crude oil supply disruptions. The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most critical oil transit chokepoints, handling a significant share of global crude and LNG shipments.Any disruption in the waterway has historically triggered volatility in international oil markets and raised concerns among major energy-importing nations, including India.Also read | US goods trade deficit narrows in April on strong exportsTrump also referred to Iran’s enriched nuclear material, saying the stockpile buried underground after a previous US B-2 bomber strike would be excavated and destroyed under international supervision. He said the process would involve close coordination between the United States, Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).According to Trump, no financial exchange would take place as part of the proposed arrangement until further decisions are taken. He added that several other issues had also been agreed upon, though he did not elaborate on details.The former US president said he would meet officials in the Situation Room before taking a final decision on the matter.The comments assume significance as tensions between the US and Iran have remained elevated over Tehran’s nuclear activities, sanctions and regional security concerns. Recent developments in the Middle East have also intensified fears of escalation that could impact global trade routes and energy prices.International crude oil markets have remained highly sensitive to developments surrounding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. Analysts have warned that any prolonged uncertainty in the region could affect fuel prices, shipping costs and supply chains globally.India, which imports a majority of its crude oil requirements, closely monitors developments in the Gulf region as volatility in oil prices has direct implications for inflation, fuel costs and the country’s trade balance.
