The people of India must be prepared to buy expensive oil. Petrol and diesel may be more expensive in the coming time. Even if the central and state governments cut taxes, more relief is not expected. The general public must turn to electric vehicles.
Many of the reasons behind the price hike
Oil demand has increased rapidly in Asian countries. On the other hand, the organization of oil producing countries, including OPEC, Russia and Saudi Arabia, has not agreed to increase crude oil production. That is, when production decreases and demand increases, so does the price. Experts say oil-producing countries are offsetting losses caused by corona. At the same time, the price of petrol and diesel in India is doubled after the excise duty, dealer commission and other items are added. Whether it is the central or state government, the tax cannot be eliminated at any cost. Because the bulk of the revenue comes from here. This money will lead to development.
Prices are set every morning
In fact, petrol and diesel prices fluctuate on a daily basis based on crude prices in the international market along with foreign exchange rates. Oil market companies set petrol and diesel prices every day after checking prices. Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum revise petrol and diesel rates at 6am every morning.
