State Oil firms may cut petrol, diesel prices ahead of J&K, Jharkhand polls

12 Nov 2014 Evaluate

In good news for vehicle owners, state oil firms may yet again reduce petrol and diesel prices by the end of this week tracing the consistent drop in global oil prices before polls in Jharkhand and Jammu & Kashmir. This plan, if materializes would mark seventh reduction in petrol prices since June and third reduction in diesel prices after the fuel was de-regulated on October 18.

For consumers, the two fuels are already 10%-13% cheaper than their highs earlier in the year. However, some reports suggest that the cut could be steeper depending upon further slide in international prices of auto fuels since the government has allowed state fuel retailers to align pump prices of petrol and diesel with international market.

Last time, oil companies reduced petrol prices by Rs 2.41 per litre and diesel by Rs 2.25 on Oct 31. So far, companies have reduced petrol prices by 13% or Rs 9.36 per litre in six consecutive rate reductions, while diesel prices have been cut by about 10% or Rs 5.62 per litre in just two revision since the fuel price was deregulated. Currently, petrol is sold at Rs 64.24 per litre in Delhi and diesel at Rs 53.35 per litre.

However, companies are also expected to marginally reduce revenue losses on cooking gas, where they are losing about Rs 394 per 14.2 kilogram cylinder. In October end, Subsidized cooking gas (LPG) rates were hiked by Rs 3 per cylinder after the government raised the commission paid to dealers. The commission was last revised in December 2013 when it was hiked by Rs 3.46 per cylinder to Rs 40.71.
