Preparations for the rollout have been completed, with authorities moving into the final stages of implementation.

The system will digitally monitor fuel distribution at petrol pumps through dedicated mobile devices.

According to sources, the Ministry of IT has completed testing of the smartphones to be deployed at fuel stations.

The National IT Board (NITB) has also verified the quality and operational performance of the devices.

Testing of the fuel management application has been finalised, and all relevant details have been shared with the Cabinet Division.

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has directed oil marketing companies to ensure procurement of the devices.

Each handset, estimated to cost around Rs36,000, will be financed by oil marketing companies.

The NITB will procure the devices and hand them over to the companies for distribution to fuel stations.

Officials said the system will strictly enforce fuel quotas, with no citizen allowed to purchase petrol beyond the assigned limit.

The quota mechanism will be implemented through a mobile application developed by the Pakistan Digital Authority.

Authorities say the initiative is aimed at ensuring transparent fuel distribution, strengthening monitoring systems, and preventing potential misuse.
