However, measures have been taken in India to protect domestic consumers from the impact of higher prices.

Will the prices of petrol and diesel remain the same?

When asked whether petrol and diesel prices would remain at current levels, Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Oil and Gas, said, “Geopolitical conditions have affected supply and prices. Two months ago, crude oil was at $70 per barrel, which is now trading at $120 per barrel. Saudi Arabia’s LPG price is around $780 per tonne. This is causing losses for oil marketing companies.”

Sharma said, “Companies are buying expensive crude oil, LPG and gas from the market but selling them at cheaper prices to protect consumers from the impact. This is affecting their financial situation.”

What measures has the government taken?

The official further said, “The government reduced the excise duty to control the price rise. This is putting a burden of about Rs 14000 crore on the government every month. Companies are incurring under-recovery on petrol-diesel and LPG. This is about Rs 30,000 crore every month.”

 

Sharma said that 40% of India’s crude oil imports, 90% of LPG imports and 60% of LNG imports used to come from the Strait of Hormuz, but the war has affected this. He said that the government oil companies do business with what they earn. They develop infrastructure with a capital expenditure of about Rs 1.5 lakh crore every year.

This update is given on LPG booking

Sharma said that in the last two days, there were 8.766 million bookings for domestic LPG cylinders. Cylinders were delivered to approximately 9.7 million homes. Meanwhile, commercial LPG sales totaled 15,400 tons in the last two days.
