raised rates of refined products like petrol and diesel by Rs 2.6 per liter and
Rs 3.4 per liter in three weeks. Petrol price in Mumbai was Rs 90.34 per liter
and diesel was Rs 80.51. The price of diesel, priced at Rs.80.51, is the

April and December, fuel rates -
New Delhi: Indian consumers are waiting for an
increase in the price of stator fuel, with global crude oil rates rising by $50
a barrel for the first time since March.
Rising
crude oil prices in the domestic market have raised rates of refined products like
petrol and diesel by Rs 2.6 per liter and Rs 3.4 per liter in three weeks.
Since
the beginning of November, crude oil prices have risen by about $11 a barrel,
or 28%, to $50 a barrel, broadly expected that an early vaccine roll-out in
nations will help coronavirus and stop their harmful effects on the demand for fuel.
Some countries have already approved the vaccines, while others are considering
such requests from pharma companies.
An
oil demand pick is also visible in India, with sales exceeding covid’s
prior levels. Diesel and jet fuel demand have extended substantially due to the
fact April however is reducing than
the last year. The refinery run has also been recovered with facilities at
Indian Oil, the country's largest refinery operating at full capacity.
Rising
international rates have forced the state's oil companies to raise domestic
fuel prices. Petrol is now priced at Rs 83.71 per liter in Delhi, which is lower than the Rs 84 per
liter registered on 4 October 2018. Diesel is
selling at Rs 73.87 per liter. The price of petrol and diesel in Mumbai is Rs
90.34 and Rs 80.51 per liter respectively. Rates have been stable for the last
four days after increasing almost daily since 20 November.
The
state's oil companies are expected to amend domestic rates of petrol and diesel
to align them with international rates. But in 2020, companies have made it
difficult to predict house prices while keeping rates constant for several
weeks.
Domestic
prices are also at record levels due to the increase in taxes.
Petrol
prices have increased by about 4% in the last 18 days and diesel by about 5% as
fuel prices have declined due to the rise in global crude oil after higher
central and state taxes the success of Covid-19 vaccine candidates.
Petrol
is being sold in Delhi at Rs 2.65 per liter and
diesel Rs 3.41 at Rs 83.71 and Rs 73.87 per liter, while in Delhi, state fuel retailers have started
revising pump prices from 20 November. Petrol prices rose on Tuesday in Mumbai.
90.34 per liter, and diesel at Rs 80.51, one of the highest fuel prices in the
country.
Since
October 26, fluctuations in crude oil prices have been indicated as the success
of Covid-19 vaccines has outpaced the market. The benchmark Brent reached 1.6% to $48.61 a barrel, its highest
level since March before the oil markets closed. Since then, oil has been
hovering at the same level, raising $48.76. As fuel prices are benchmarked to
the global refined products prices and the 15-day rolling average of the dollar
exchange rate, pump prices can be expected to remain northward for the next few
days, even if Current crude oil prices rise to a level.
As
the impact of this rally began to hit home, higher fuel taxes increased the
impact. For consumers, higher excise and VAT, which make up 63% of petrol and
60% of diesel prices, makes it difficult as their incremental increases
increase with every increase in the base price. Available data shows that when
a liter of petrol in Delhi
sold for Rs 81.06 on 19 November, consumers paid Rs 51.69 as tax. On diesel, Rs
71.46 per liter, consumers paid Rs 42.59 in taxes.
The
Center had on March 16 raised excise duty on petrol in two phases to Rs 13 per
liter on petrol and Rs 16 per liter on diesel on May 5. Pump prices remain
unchanged as oil companies compensate for higher taxes than profit from the
historical crash in crude oil prices. When economies around the world took off,
demand declined. Several state governments consisting of Delhi, Maharashtra,
Karnataka and Punjab moreover accelerated VAT. The high oil price is also bad
news for the government, which is ready to grapple with the economic level of
the epidemic.
Expensive
crude oil will increase India's
oil import bill, with the government enjoying the protracted spell of the
subordinate oil market following the historic oil price crash in April.
For example, the oil
import consignment for the April-July size used to be Rs 93,466 crore or the
first four months of the economic year. Compare. This is a 62% reduction from
Rs 2.51 lakh crore in the comparative length of 2019. In dollar terms, the
bill was $12.4 billion, saving 65.7%.
In
terms of figures, the January-July oil import bill for the Covid relief package
announced for the poor in March saved about Rs 1.6 lakh crore. 1.7 lakh crores
are like a tab. certainly, the government does not buy oil. But cheap oil has a
positive effect on macroeconomic parameters, which shrinks government finances
and frees up resources for welfare.
The
record-high diesel price transport is expected to increase 7-8% in freight and
increase in prices of essential commodities. Transporters of the All India Motor
Transport Congress (AIMTC) has reiterated their 2018 nationwide agitation
threatening that if there is no increase.
Sources
said that on June 4, 2002, diesel was the lowest in two decades, when the rate
on pumps was Rs 22.84 per liter. Since then this increase has exceeded 250%.
“Also, diesel rates have increased by 21% during the Covid months between April and December and by 18% for petrol during the
same period. We strongly oppose and want the government to provide relief on
taxes, VAT, and excise - the highest rate in our state,” said a leading
transporter of Masjid Bunder, requesting anonymity.
Bal
Malkit Singh, a chief committee member of AIMTC, said, “Since June prices have fluctuated and the current rate is
unchanged.” When international crude oil prices fall drastically, diesel in
Mumbai has crossed Rs 80 per liter. The mathematics of decontrol governance is
incomprehensible. It is adversely affecting the common man, farmers, and the transport
sector, ”he said in a statement released.
Transporters
have warned that if pushed from the wall they may re-agitate. In 2018, he
protested the nationwide chakka jam, which affected the transport and
transportation of industrial cargo and affected operations at ports.
The
record high on freight is expected to increase the price of diesel by 7-8% and
the prices of essential commodities. Transporters of the All India Motor
Transport Congress (AIMTC) has reiterated their 2018 nationwide agitation threatening
that if there is no increase.
