The price of the Indian crude oil basket, in rupee per barrel terms,
rose by 23 per cent from December 2021 to March 2023, but compared to
this, the increase in retail selling price of petrol and diesel in Delhi
has only been 1.08 per cent and 3.40 per cent, the Parliament was told
on Thursday.
Prices of petrol and diesel have not been
increased by public sector oil marketing companies (OMCs) since April 6,
2022, despite record high international prices, Minister of State for
Petroleum Rameswar Teli told the Lok Sabha in a written reply.
The
three OMCs, namely Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation
and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation, have booked a combined loss of Rs
18,622 crore between April 2022 and December 2022, it said.
The
three OMCs have also suffered huge losses on sale of domestic LPG where
the price is moniotored by Government. To compensate these losses, the
Centre has recently paid a one-time compensation of Rs 22,000 crore to
them.
Prices of petrol and diesel in the country have been
market-determined with effect from June 26, 2010 and October 19, 2014
respectively.
Since then, the OMCs take appropriate decision on pricing of petrol and diesel, the minister said.
