Since the Government had delinked the petrol prices from its control such things happen. But the government could have reduced the custom and excise tariffs on crude which are so high to some lower level to ease the burden.

The various duties and taxes constitute 57% of the retail price of fuel in India ans another good percentage is recovered by the Oil marketting companies as distribution costs and profit.The oil marketting companies give huge dividends to shareholders and also huge salary and benefits to their employees.The govt and the oil marketting companies are looting the public together.

Oil is purchased in the international market, at various rates.. We make some contracts at concessional rates, but they are attached with trade facilities..or concessions, which we may not prefer.. In a way, the FM is right.. Only way out is to go for alternate fuel..
