Petrol, diesel prices reach all-time high as oil companies hike rates

Petrol price on Monday increased by 33 paisa a litre in Delhi - the highest since the daily price revision came into force in mid-June 2017.Prices of petrol and diesel touched an all-time high of Rs

Adding to the woes of commuters, prices of petrol and diesel touched an all-time high of Rs 76.24 per litre and Rs 67.57 respectively as the oil companies passed on four weeks of relentless rise in international oil prices to consumers.
Petrol price on Monday increased by 33 paisa a litre in Delhi -- the highest since the daily price revision came into force in mid-June 2017, and diesel by 26 paisa, according to price notification issued by state-owned oil firms. 

Rates vary from state to state depending on the incidence of local sales tax or VAT. Prices in Delhi are the cheapest in all metros and most state capitals. 
With this increase, petrol has touched an all-time-high, breaching the previous high of Rs 76.06 touched in Delhi on September 14, 2013. Diesel rates are also at the all-time high level. 
This is the seventh straight day of price increase since oil Public Sector Understandings (PSUs) on May 14 resumed daily price revision after a 19-day pre-Karnataka poll hiatus. In all, petrol price has been raised by Rs 1.61 a litre and diesel by 1.64 in last one week.
In India, petrol is the costliest in Mumbai where high local taxes has led to a price of Rs 84.07 per litre. Petrol has breached Rs 80 mark in Bhopal (Rs 81.83 a litre), Patna (Rs 81.73), Hyderabad (Rs 80.76) and Srinagar (Rs 80.35), according to the price notification. Petrol in Kolkata costs Rs 78.91 per litre while it is priced at Rs 79.13 in Chennai. The cheapest petrol is available in Panjim where a litre comes for Rs 70.26.
Diesel is the costliest in Hyderabad where it is priced at Rs 73.45 a litre due to high local taxes. It is priced at Rs 73.34 in Trivandrum. Other cities where diesel rates have crossed Rs 70 mark are Raipur (Rs 72.96 a litre), Gandhinagar (Rs 72.63), Bhubhaneswar (Rs 72.43), Patna (Rs 72.24), Jaipur (Rs 71.97), Ranchi (Rs 71.35), Bhopal (Rs 71.12) and Srinagar (Rs 70.96).A litre of diesel costs Rs 71.94 in Mumbai, Rs 70.12 in Kolkatta and Rs 71.32 in Chennai, the notification said.Diesel is the cheapest in Port Blair where it is priced at Rs 63.35. 
Earlier on Friday, Economic Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg refused to say if the government will cut excise duty on auto fuel to ease the burden on consumers. 
He said that the government is monitoring the situation developing from oil prices hitting USD 80 a barrel - the highest since November 2014 and and taking adequate measures.
Asked if the government would cut excise duty on petrol and diesel, he had stated that he has nothing to say on that front. "Just watch." 
The BJP-led government had raised excise duty nine times -- totalling Rs 11.77 per litre on petrol and Rs 13.47 on diesel -- between November 2014 and January 2016 to shore up finances as global oil prices fell, but then cut the tax just once in October last year by Rs 2 a litre. 
Soon after the Karnataka election results were out, state-owned Indian Oil Corp (IOC), Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd (HPCL) and Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL) on Monday ended a hiatus in revising petrol and diesel prices that began on April 25 and reverted to the 11-month old practices of changing rates on a daily basis.

Oil PSUs are estimated to have lost about Rs 500 crore on absorbing higher cost resulting from the spike in international oil rates and fall in rupee against the US dollar during the nearly three-week hiatus. 
The benchmark international rate for petrol, used for revising rate on April 24, had gone up from USD 78.84 per barrel to USD 84.97 on May 14. It has further risen to USD 84.97, indicating more daily hikes would be needed to level retail price with cost. 
Similarly, benchmark international diesel rates during this period have climbed from USD 84.68 per barrel to USD 90.28 pr barrel. Also, the rupee has weakened to Rs 67.27 per US dollar from Rs 66.62, making imports costlier.

Today, petrol in Delhi is Rs 76.24 per liter. Similarly, diesel Delhi is sold at Rs 67.57 per liter. The diesel in India is so expensive for the first time in history.


If oil is sold as per curde oil price, then the price of petrol is 23Rs and diesel 26Rs is less than Manmohan Singh's rule
New Delhi: After the prices of petrol and diesel have reached the highest level so far, questions are arising now that why is this happening, whether the price of crude oil in the international market has increased so much that preventing rising prices The current government is not talking about bus.

To check this, we have to see the conditions of the year 2014. After the comparative analysis of prices of petrol, diesel and crude oil in the international market, it will be digested that the prices of petrol and diesel prices are stuck.

Let us tell you that today petrol in Delhi is Rs 76.24 per liter, which is by far the most expensive. Earlier, petrol was sold at Rs 76.06 per liter in September 2013, which was the highest ever so far.

Crude oil vs petrol-diesel price

When Modi took over the government in May 2014, the petrol was sold at Rs 71.41 per liter in the country. Similarly, in May 2014, diesel was 55.49 rupees per liter. Then the crude oil price in the international market was $ 106.85 per barrel.

What is the situation now?

Today, petrol in Delhi is Rs 76.24 per liter. Similarly, diesel Delhi is sold at Rs 67.57 per liter. So expensive is the first time in diesel history.

What is the price of crude oil in the international market now?

Currently, the crude oil price in the international market is $ 80 a barrel. That is, the cost of crude oil is 25% less than 2014. (In 2014 the price of crude oil in the international market was $ 106.85 per barrel).

It means that the Manmohan Singh government bought crude oil worth $ 106.85 a barrel and sold 71.41 rupees per liter and diesel sold 55.49 rupees per liter.

So what should be the cost of 80 dollars per barrel?

Accordingly, if the Modi government is sold by the Manmohan Singh government so expensive petrol, then it will sell 53.47 rupees per liter. That is, the customer got cheaper petrol of 22.77 rupees. If the same formula is applied to diesel, then it should be sold at Rs 41.54 per liter, which is 26 paise cheaper.
