In the morning, the Consortium of Indian Petroleum Dealers (CIPD) said they would go on a full-fledged strike on November 15 to press for their demand to increase commission.
Besides, the dealers had said petrol pumps will be selling fuel for limited hours from Saturday and will not operate on Sundays or Government holidays.
However, they decided not to go ahead with these programmes after holding talks with representatives of oil companies in Mumbai.
The CIPD has demanded implementation of the recommendations made by the Apoorva Chandra Committee in 2011.

The committee recommended commissions of over Rs 4 for petrol and about Rs 3 for diesel per litre. The then UPA Government hiked the commission on petrol to Rs 2.15 and diesel to Rs 1.28 from Re 1 and Re 0.70, respectively.
Amaram said the dealers are supposed to get the arrears also from 2011.
In Telangana alone, over 1,400 truckloads of petrol and diesel were not lifted yesterday and today by petroleum dealers in the State.
