Petronas Dagangan retail petrol sales to rise 20%

Petronas Dagangan Bhd expects a 15% to 20% growth in retail petrol sales volume for the year ending March 31, 2005 from the estimated 4.2 billion litres achieved in the year just ended, said retail business division general manager Amyn Mohamed Hussain. 

“Market demand for petrol should increase with the better economic situation and higher forecast gross domestic product growth this year. We also plan to increase the number of petrol stations and this will contribute to the volume growth,” he said at a media briefing in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
