Why are CNG people crying too?

Not just petrol and diesel, CNG also showed its results. In Delhi, it increased by Re 1 to Rs 81.09 per kg. This has increased for the third time in 4-5 days. Overall there has been a shock of Rs 4 per kg. It is now certain that auto-taxi fares will increase.

What are the companies giving as the reason for the increase?

The direct answer of the oil companies is that we are not able to do so. Crude oil is setting fire in the international market. On top of that, the rupee also weakened against the dollar. Buying oil is becoming expensive. Crisil's report scares even more. According to them, even after the last increase, the companies were incurring a loss of Rs 10 per liter on petrol and Rs 13 per liter on diesel. This means that relief is difficult even further.

What is the scene at the private pump?

Private ones had started before government companies. Nayara had increased petrol by Rs 5 in March itself. Shell increased the price of petrol by Rs 7.41 and diesel by Rs 25 from April 1. Jio-BP is currently running with government companies.

Why is politics hot?

The opposition alleges that the rates were deliberately withheld till the elections. As soon as voting ended, the burden was put on the public. The government is saying that we saved it from inflation. But the truth is that IOC, BPCL, HPCL together run 90% of the petrol pumps. When these three are increased, the effect is visible in the entire country. Currently the rates are at the highest level after May 2022. Truck fares will increase, vegetables will become expensive, bus fares will increase. That means this increase will not just stop at the tank, it will reach the kitchen.
