Oil companies up petrol prices yet again; mark fourth hike since June

15 Jul 2013 Evaluate

Marking the fourth revision since June, Oil companies have yet again raised petrol rates by Rs 1.55 a litre, excluding local sales tax or VAT, with effect from July 14 midnight. Oil firms had on June 1 raised prices by 75 paisa, excluding VAT, and followed it with a steep Rs 2 per litre increase on June 16 and Rs 1.82 on June 29. With the current revision, Petrol price in Delhi has been hiked by Rs 1.86 per litre to Rs 70.44 as against Rs 68.58 currently.

Combined impact of deteriorating exchange rate and increasing international oil prices apparently has forced the Oil companies to hike petrol prices. Since last price change on June 29, the downward spiral of rupee against the dollar has continued to reach a low of Rs.60.03 per dollar as against Rs 58.94 per dollar during the previous fortnight. While, international crude prices have also shown an uptrend and increased from $115.29/bbl to $117.19/bbl.

Thus, with the latest increase, all of the relief given in last four reductions in prices earlier this year has been offset. The rates cuts had brought down the price to Rs 63.01 at the beginning of May.
