Petrol and diesel prices set to increase further

19 May 2011 Evaluate
The diesel and petrol are going to be costlier by 12 and 40 paisa a liter respectively as the oil ministry had decided to increase the commission for petrol pump owners. The pump dealers were demanding hike in their commission from last 8 months and have asked to raise their margin by 5% of the sales value

The oil ministry official have confirmed that the dealers margin in petrol has been raised by 33% and diesel by 16%, without indicating implementation dates for the new rates, at present pump dealers are getting Rs 1.12 litre on petrol and Rs. 0.76 a liter on diesel.

Around 38,700 pump dealers across the nation have also expressed their annoyance over oil companies raising rates without paying attention to their concerns. Regional associations have written to ' Federation of All India Petroleum Traders (FAIPT), an apex body of regional dealers' association that they would resort to 'no-sale no-purchase' if margins are not raised immediately,

'The cost of operations has gone up dramatically and we want the ministry to increase our margins. The ministry has already appointed a committee that has recommended commission revision. We want the ministry to grant its approval at the earliest,' said AIPDC convenor Arvindbhai Thakkar, who met oil Minister S Jaipal Reddy last week to discuss this issue with him.

Though the effective date of hike in margin of pump dealers has not been decided but it could be revised when diesel prices would be raised after an Empowered Group of Ministers' (EGoM's) meeting.
