Thailand's Energy Ministry has escalated enforcement under its "Sudsoi Energy" anti-hoarding campaign by filing evidence with the Office of the Trade Competition Commission (OTCC) against 5 additional oil storage depots suspected of supply manipulation during the March fuel shortage. Investigators found abnormal inventory patterns—including received fuel not being released and average remaining stock 1.67 million liters above normal—affecting multiple depots. 21 traders have been referred for legal proceedings under trade competition and consumer protection laws. The ministry plans system upgrades including real-time monitoring alerts and supply chain oversight to prevent future price-gouging incidents.
