There is an outcry over the prices of petrol and diesel in India. The ever-increasing prices have put people at ease. Customers in the country are paying almost three times the base price of petrol and diesel i.e. X factory. Concerned over the rise in fuel prices, today Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Shaktikanta Das indirectly urged the government to cut taxes on petroleum products. Das said that 'Efforts to contain cost-push pressures through a calibrated reversal of indirect taxes on fuels could contribute to a more sustained reduction of inflation.'
Tax should be cut on petrol and diesel
Das said that the country is in a better position today as compared to the last MPC meeting. There are strong signs of growth and the trend of inflation is better than expected. On inflation, he said it is lower than RBI's estimates but core inflation is worrying. Tax on petrol and diesel should be cut to keep inflation under control.
