On December 30 and 31, 2024, inspection teams from pertinent agencies extensively monitored fuel stations all throughout the Kingdom.
Under the direction of the Permanent Executive Committee for Fuel Stations and Service Centers, these operations comprised 1,371 stations spread over 78 cities and governorates, While 12 non-compliant stations were closed owing to serious infractions, the inspections resulted in regulatory actions against 152 others.
Direct reporting, tracking, and observation helped multiple transgressions to be found during these inspections. Among the most prominent infractions were the absence of diesel fuel at some stations and the neglect to have a sufficient stock of petroleum products, Furthermore, some fuel stations were discovered to be purposefully not selling diesel, therefore upsetting the supply chain and causing inconvenience to consumers.
The Permanent Executive Committee underlined the great need of following gasoline station policies.

Moreover, every station has to provide the constant availability of petroleum products depending on their designated categories, The committee underlined that punishing establishments that violate these rules will not be done with any sympathy. Strict policies will keep being followed to preserve the quality of services and keep a good gasoline distribution system.
Technical teams will maintain their inspection activities all year round going forward, closely coordinating all pertinent entities to guarantee ongoing compliance, These continuous projects are a component of a larger project aiming at strengthening the gasoline station industry and raising the general quality of the services given to consumers. Apart from helping to identify infractions, regular monitoring motivates fuel stations to keep good operational standards.

Complaints may be filed by citizens via the "Partner Service" mobile app accessible on Apple and Android platforms or by the toll-free hotline (8001244), As Encouragement of public involvement helps the government to improve sectoral openness and responsibility.
Emphasizing that non-compliance would not be accepted, the committee reiterated its will to guarantee the dependability and efficiency of gasoline stations, The authorities want to create a fuel distribution network that satisfies the highest criteria by keeping close supervision, imposing fines and encouraging public participation, These initiatives fit into a larger goal to modernize service stations, improve customer experience and guarantee the flawless availability of gasoline supplies all around the Kingdom.
