If you want to start a petrol pump in your district or any other place, let us tell you that the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has set the reserve quota of petrol pump in regular and rural location for Defense Person, Paramilitary Person, Central Government and State Government Employee. All these employees fall under the CC1 category. ESM can apply under this category. In this post, we will tell you step by step process to apply for Petrol Pump under ESM Reserve Quota.
