It is reported that gas stations (YDM) are being massively put up for sale in Russia amid difficulties in the fuel market.
Modern.az reports that among them are gas stations belonging to both private and large oil companies.
According to an analysis conducted by Russian media based on marketing platforms, real estate sales websites, and corporate resources, more than 150 gas station sales announcements have been posted in the country over the past month.
The price of the objects varies from 1 million rubles to 150 million rubles, depending on the region, technical equipment, and other characteristics.
According to experts, the main problem faced by private gas stations is the increase in wholesale fuel prices. Independent operators are forced to buy gasoline and diesel fuel at high prices through exchanges or intermediaries. Large oil companies, on the other hand, primarily supply their own gas station networks with fuel.
According to the ASTRA Telegram channel, approximately 27.7 thousand gas stations were operating in Russia at the beginning of 2026. About 19.84 thousand of them belonged to independent operators. This segment is considered to be the most affected by rising costs and instability in fuel supplies.
