Government is planning to increase petrol price.

This is a joke. The recent decrease in petrol price was so much publicized. apparently, this was a deception.

I think the recent decision was colourable move to quieten agitating public minds and the government is back at the game once again!

i think govt think that people are fools. they are increasing some of 5 rs once nd decrease some of 1 rs once nd 2 rs once and again increasing 2 rs. what a clever move that govt playing... very funny...

Once again the government is refusing to accept that a solution lies in the rationalization of uses of petroleum products!

it is not good how common people survive in the world it must be control.

rationalization of the petroleum products..how can this be implemented..can you explain..?

We have to control our consumption - the price at which the public transport owners buy petroleum is the same at which the swanky car-owners buy! It's ridiculous! We must differentiate the uses and accordingly frame pricing policies.The car owners must be made not to take out their cars at least once in a week. The misuse of gevernment vehicles is rampant and there is an urgent necessity to come down heavily on it!

that is a good solution. but government will have to put their heads together to implement it...the easy solution from their part is to increase prices......

The petrol prices are increasing upto 68 paise.This will come into act from tonight only.

thank you fo your warning sasikanth yesterday i filled up my bike with petrol......

The government is always looking at the softer options. Just go on adding to the burden of common man!

The suggestion provided by Dada is very nice and we should be aware about this. i also heard that the petrol prices are increasing upto 68 paise.This will come into act from tonight only.

@Ram Prosad

Petroleum products are mostly imported and the falling rupee is adding to the cost of imports enormously as payments are all in US dollars! We have to find an imaginative solution to this complex problem. Thanks!

@ chinmoy
i have posted this pic before..but how can you explain this pic....if other countries can provide petrol at lower rates why not india..

I think some oil-producing countries have lowers prices and some countries have a lot of subsidy in it. The problem is that apart from the cost of purchase the government actually earns revenue by adding taxes to it like customs duty,Central Excise and also Vat by states!

the difference in prices in these countries baffles me...nepal and bangladesh ..our neighbors..they provide petrol at almost 1/3rd cost in india.

Now a day petrol price are rise in such a way that in future it is difficult to use it.

@Deepak

I am not sure if it is one third but the main factors contributing to this are the reasons I mentioned earlier.

This became play for the government. whenever they feel they will decrease whenever they feel they will increase. This is really bad. few days before they have decreased the price. and now they are increasing again.

green cess on petrol
The panel, headed by Delhi Metro chief E Sreedharan, has suggested urban transport tax on purchase of new cars and two-wheelers at 7.5% of the total cost of petrol vehicles and 20% in case of personal diesel cars.

The recommendations, which are guided by the "polluter pays principle", aim to discourage use of private vehicles by imposing higher taxes and also help generate resources to fund public transport projects.
