KARACHI: Pakistan’s leading oil marketing company, Pakistan State Oil (PSO), has further strengthened its business relationship with Pakistan Railways with the signing of a major fuel supply agreement, under which the PSO will meet Pakistan Railways’ fuel and lubricant requirements in all of their entirety.
After a stringent, transparent and competitive process, PSO successfully secured the contract of supplying high speed diesel (HSD), furnace oil, lubricants and greases for a five-year period to Pakistan Railways.
The agreement was signed by PSO Lubricants & Chemicals General Manager Qasim Zaheer and Pakistan Railways Chief Controller of Purchase Syed Mir Badshah. Present at the signing ceremony were PSO Managing Director Sheikh Imran-ul-Haque, Railways Minister Khawaja Saad Rafique, Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and various other senior executives from both the organisations.
Speaking on the occasion, Khawaja Saad Rafique said, “Pakistan Railways is working on long-term agreements with big national and international suppliers to make the system effective. The fuel supply agreement between Pakistan Railways and PSO is not only cost effective but will also help reduce repetition of work.”
Expressing his views on the occasion, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi stated, “I am positive that the agreement will enable both the national organisations, PSO and Pakistan Railways, to enhance their role in the process of national development and contribution to the national exchequer. I look forward to witnessing these two organisations working together to ascend to greater heights.”
PSO has put forth and offered these significantly superior quality fuels, lubricants and greases at the most economical of packages to Pakistan Railways for their entire range of engines and machineries at all locations nationwide. The highest quality PSO fuel would undoubtedly result in better performance of Pakistan Railways engines, including the latest fleet of new and efficient locomotives that it purchased recently. This will further bring savings of millions of rupees to the Pakistan Railways and the national exchequer.
Sheikh Imran Ul Haque stated, “Not only will the PSO be providing Pakistan Railways with unmatched quality and quantity of fuels and lubricants, it will also be providing them a hassle-free one-window solution to their entire fuel and lubricant requirements.”
“PSO takes immense pride in offering the best quality fuel and lubricants to its customers. The high speed diesel imported by PSO is the best quality HSD available in Pakistan with a lowest sulphur content, which is the most environment friendly and lowest emission diesel fuel marketed in the country.” Pakistan State Oil also has the most sophisticated and state-of-the-art Lubricant Manufacturing Terminal (LMT) in Pakistan, which produces highest quality lubricants that are API compliant and certified, he said.
PSO General Manager Qasim Zaheer said, “Due to fully automated process, the chances of human error are minimal, which ensures consistent high quality and efficient lubricant blending process.”
Having secured the business for five years will enable Pakistan State Oil to efficiently plan the procurement of fuel and raw materials for Pakistan Railways, thus causing huge savings to the PR and the national exchequer.
