OMCs slash petrol price by 80 paise per litre; reduce diesel by 1.30/ litre

16 Apr 2015 Evaluate

Marking the second reduction in rates this month, India’s state-run oil marketing companies, responding to lower crude oil prices reduced retail prices for petrol by Rs 0.80 a litre and retail price of diesel by Rs 1.30 a litre. Prior to this, the oil marketing companies had cut price of petrol by 49 paise and diesel by Rs 1.21 for every litre from April 2.  However, the new rates are effective from April 16, 2015.

With this price cut, petrol in Delhi will cost Rs 59.20 a litre as against the current Rs 60, while diesel will cost Rs 47.20 per litre as against Rs 48.50. The state run-oil marketing companies, Indian Oil  Corporation(IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) increased the retail prices for the fuel twice in February, but before that the price of petrol had been reduced ten times since August 2014 while that of diesel was reduced six times since October 2014. Cumulatively, petrol prices had been cut by Rs 17.11 per litre in 10 reductions since August and diesel by Rs 12.96 a litre since its deregulation in October.

The latest cut is the usual practice followed by state-owned fuel retailers; IOC, Bharat Petroleum Corp (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) of revising petrol and diesel prices on 1st and 16th of every month based on average imported cost and rupee-dollar exchange rate in the previous fortnight. Since last price revision, the trend of international prices of petrol and diesel and Rupee-US dollar exchange rate warrant a further downward revision in prices, the impact of which is being passed on to consumers with this price reduction.
