Revenue losses on kerosene, LPG reduce by 21%

02 Dec 2014 Evaluate

As global oil rates hit a five-year low to around $67.53 a barrel, losses on sale of subsidised LPG and kerosene have dropped by 21 percent to Rs 148 crore. As per the government’s notification, state-owned fuel retailers are losing Rs 25.69 on sale of every litre of kerosene through the Public Distribution System (PDS) and Rs 279.91 per 14.2-kg on domestic cooking gas, lower than Rs 27.60 a litre loss oil firms were incurring on sale through PDS in November, and Rs 393.50 per LPG cylinder.

Further, oil marketing companies (OMCs), effective December 1, 2014, are now incurring combined daily under-recovery of about Rs 148 crore on the sale of PDS kerosene and domestic LPG as against Rs 188 crore daily under-recoveries during previous month. During the first half of current fiscal, under-recovery or the revenue loss incurred on selling fuel below cost was recorded at Rs 51,110 crore. Under recovery was Rs 139,869 crore for full year in the 2013-14.

The price of non-subsidised cooking gas (LPG) was further cut by a steep Rs 113 per cylinder on November 1 and jet fuel (ATF) by 4.1 percent amid falling international oil rates. A 14.2-kg cylinder of non-subsidised LPG will now cost Rs 752, down from Rs 865 previously, in Delhi. This is the fifth straight reduction in rates of non-subsidised or market priced LPG, which the customers buy after exhausting their quota of 12 cylinders at subsidised rates, since August.

The government had decontrolled petrol in June 2010, while, diesel was deregulated on October 18. Since deregulation, diesel rates have been cut thrice, leading to price coming down to around Rs 52.51 a litre.
