Today after the increase in the price of crude oil in the international market, domestic oil companies have released the price of petrol and diesel. Experts are telling that the process of increase in the price of crude oil is not going to stop. Vaccination work is going on fast in many places including Europe and America. With the increase in the number of vaccinations, there are discounts on travel restrictions. In this case, there will be an increase in fuel demand. Therefore, there will also be an increase in the price of crude oil.
Talking about the domestic market, petrol prices have already hit a century in many districts of Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. In the financial capital Mumbai, the price of petrol has reached beyond 99. Talking about the price in India, the base price of petrol and diesel is less than Rs 37 and Rs 35 per liter respectively. But the retail prices are so high because of the huge tax burden.
Petrol-diesel sold expensive due to heavy tax
Explain that the central government is charging an excise duty of Rs 33 per liter on petrol and diesel. Apart from this, states also levy VAT and cess at their level. This is the reason that the price of petrol and diesel has increased almost three times. In such a situation, till the tax will not be cut, it will not be possible to reduce the price of petrol and diesel in the domestic market.
