The Indian Oil Officers' Association has urged oil minister Hardeep Puri to intervene against the proposed abolition of three key director positions—director (pipelines), director (R&D), and director (planning & business development)—which they argue are vital for operational safety, innovation, and strategic growth. With the director (pipelines) position unfilled since July 2024, the association emphasizes the necessity of these roles for ensuring accountability and expertise in safety governance across the company's extensive pipeline network.
