As many as 67 petrol pumps across Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon and Rohtak will offer a discount of 50-paise per litre on petrol to consumers who exercise their voting rights on April 10.
“A 50 paise per litre discount will be offered to anybody coming to these petrol pumps with voting mark on Thursday during voting hours,” Ajay Bansal, general secretary, Federation of All India Petroleum Traders, said.
Car and two-wheeler owners have to show the indelible ink mark on their finger as proof of having cast the ballot to avail of the discount. The scheme will be available till 5 p.m. in the designated petrol pumps.
“We have launched a poster campaign to encourage people to vote… automobile owners/drivers are being informed of the scheme and are being encouraged to exercise their franchise,” he said.
Delhi has a total of 398 petrol pumps but the discount scheme will be available at 67 outlets only.
“Under this campaign, attendants at the pumps will be specially trained to distribute the campaign pamphlets and request the customer to not just exercise his franchise but also encourage others to do the same,” Mr. Bansal said.
