Market Flood
More than 150 gas stations have been listed for sale on Russian online marketplaces, Izvestia reported, citing data from the platforms. The listings include both independent stations and assets from major players such as Gazprom and Lukoil. The stations are located in at least eight regions, including Astrakhan, Rostov, and Chelyabinsk.
Financial Strain
Owners cited deteriorating financial conditions as the primary reason for selling, according to Izvestia. Proceeds from the sales are expected to be used to repay debts and stabilize finances. Prices vary widely: individual stations start at 1 million rubles, while a chain of 13 stations in Ufa is priced at 350 million rubles.
What's Next
The sell-off is expected to continue as more owners seek to offload assets. It remains unclear whether the trend will lead to consolidation among larger players or further price declines.
