However, now a report quoted sources as saying that the central government has prepared a big plan to give relief to the general public from the rising prices of petrol and diesel. It has been said that their prices may remain stable for the coming few days.
Guidelines are given to oil companies
Sources in the report have said that under the scheme prepared by the government to provide relief to the general public amid rising oil prices, the prices of petrol and diesel may remain stable again. According to sources, such guidelines have been issued by the government to the major oil marketing companies in the country. Apart from this, there is also a possibility that if the prices of crude oil do not come down at the international level and the prices continue to rise like this, then the government can also take steps to cut the excise duty on petrol and diesel. So that the burden on the general public can be reduced. According to the report, the government has also asked the states to cut the VAT charged on petrol and diesel.
More than Rs 10 increase in 17 days
Significantly, there was no change in the prices of petrol and diesel in the country on Thursday. At the same time, till Wednesday, it had been increased 14 times.

Has happened. However, he assured that efforts are being made to provide fuel at affordable prices to the people of the country.
The impact of the rise in crude oil
According to experts, rising crude oil prices also affect the prices of petrol and diesel in the country. Let us inform you that in the past, the price of crude oil in the international market had reached its highest level since 2008 at $ 139 / barrel. However, after that, there was a decrease in it, but for the time being, its price has remained consistently above $100 per barrel. Commodity experts say the crisis in crude oil prices has been exacerbated by the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. He said that if the situation continues like this for a long time, then the people will have to bear the burden of more inflation.
15 to 22 rupees can be expensive

It was estimated in the report that the price of petrol and diesel in the country could be increased by Rs 15 to 22 respectively in the coming days.

Earlier reports had said that the rise in crude oil prices due to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has been very harmful to Indian oil companies. In this new report by Moody's Investors, it was said that keeping the prices of petrol and diesel stable despite the rise in international crude oil prices has been a burden on the oil companies. It has been estimated in the report that due to this, the oil companies suffered a loss of Rs 19000 crore in March alone.
This is how the prices are fixed

After adding excise duty, dealer commission, and other things to the price of petrol and diesel, its price almost doubles. Based on these parameters, oil companies do the work of fixing petrol rates and diesel rates daily. Dealers are people running petrol pumps. They sell petrol themselves at retail prices to the consumers end after adding taxes and their margins. This cost is also added to the petrol rate and diesel rate.
