Public sector oil companies ne shanivaar (Saturday) petrol aur diesel ki retail keemat mein ek baar phir se lagbhag 90 paise per litre ki badhotri ki hai. Yeh badhotri May 15 ke baad se teesri baar hai. Ye move isliye kiya gaya hai kyunki yeh companies apne losses ko partially recover karna chahti hain, jo ki global crude oil prices mein bhaari uchar (sharp surge) ke bawajood auto fuels ko market rates se kam mein bechne ke karan ho rahe hain. Lekin is badhotri ke baad bhi, oil companies ko petrol par ₹13 per litre aur diesel par ₹38 per litre ka under-recovery ho raha hai (yeh figures pre-tax hain), kyunki international crude prices abhi bhi $100 per barrel se upar hain.
Delhi mein ab petrol ki naya keemat ₹99.51 per litre hai, jabki diesel ₹92.49 per litre par becha ja raha hai. Doosre major cities mein petrol Mumbai mein ₹108.49, Chennai mein ₹105.31, aur Kolkata mein ₹110.64 par becha ja raha hai. Diesel ki keemat Mumbai mein ₹95.02, Chennai mein ₹96.98, aur Kolkata mein ₹97.02 hai. States ke beech keemat mein farak mainly state-level VAT structures ki wajah se hai.
May 15 ke baad se petrol aur diesel ki keemat mein total badhotri lagbhag ₹5 per litre se kam hai, jo ki global level par hui badhotriyon se kaafi kam hai. West Asia conflict ke badhne aur oil prices mein spike ke baad bahut se deshon ne prices badhae hain.
Iske saath hi, Delhi aur NCR mein CNG supply karne wali company Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) ne CNG ki keemat mein ₹1 per kg ki badhotri ki hai, jisse Delhi mein CNG ki keemat ₹81.09 per kg ho gayi hai. Yeh is hafte ki doosri badhotri hai, aur Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurgaon jaise shahron mein bhi aisi badhotriyaan ho chuki hain. Global gas prices badhne ke bawajood, domestic LPG cylinders aur piped cooking gas ki keemat mein koi badhotri nahi hui hai.
Government officials ke mutabik, petrol aur diesel ki keemat ko 75 din tak freeze karne ka initial decision lena—despite rising crude costs—se central government ko kaafi revenue losses hue, kyunki wo consumers ko protect kar rahe the. Officials ne bataya ki developed economies mein petrol ki keemat ab ₹150 per litre se upar hai, aur bahut se deshon mein toh ₹180 per litre se bhi zyada hai. Government ke ek spokesperson ne kaha ki major oil-importing economies ne high crude prices ka burden consumers par daal diya hai, aur pichle 48 months mein bahut se deshon mein pump prices double ho gaye hain.
Pehli badhotri May 15 ko lagbhag ₹3 per litre thi, uske baad May 19 ko 90 paise ki badhotri hui thi. Pehli badhotri ke baad, government ne report kiya tha ki petrol, diesel aur LPG par cumulative under-recovery ₹1,000 crore se ghut kar ₹750 crore ho gayi thi. Yeh reduction retail prices mein partial adjustment ki wajah se hai, lekin global crude prices ke high level par bane rehne ki wajah se significant under-recoveries abhi bhi hain.
