Ukraine, state taxes and electric vehicles: How BJP is defending sky-high fuel prices

Critics, though, point to Central taxes being the major factor behind the #FuelPriceHike
scroll.in/article/1020972

By @UmangPod
Critics often complain that the Centre only increases and never reduces domestic prices based on international prices.

For instance, while Int'l oil prices plummeted during the pandemic, oil prices in India remained the same as the govt increased excise. scroll.in/article/1020972
The BJP and its supporters have attempted to manage the political fallout of this steep rise by offering a host of excuses for why #FuelPrices are shooting up.

@UmangPod looks into some of those excuses and what experts and opposition have to say. scroll.in/article/1020972

SIMPLY PUT: Will #Petrol Prices In India Stabilise Anytime Soon?

#FuelPriceHike #PetrolDieselPriceHike

Read: businessinsider.in/bi-newsletter
There are two things for certain that Indians are talking about this week – #PetrolPrice, and of course, the sweltering heat. After 9 out of 10 days of #FuelPriceHike, there are high chances that people might be talking about the fuel price rise more than the scorching sun.
Crude oil prices have been skyrocketing for several reasons that seem to be beyond the control of any country’s govt. Even the market can feel the impact of rising crude oil prices. The @StocktwitsIndia Stock Room Sunday episode discusses this in detail.

For those worried about #FuelPrices for cars: if you drive significant distances then you can *easily* reduce your fuel costs by around 40%. tl;dr speed kills fuel efficiency and driving slower makes a *big* difference /1
Most cars get their best fuel efficiency between 50 km/hr and 80 km/hr. Above 80 km/hr the majority of your fuel is being used to push the air in front of your car out of the way. /2
If you drive at 100 km/hr along a particular stretch of road then you will use about 50% more fuel than if you drive at 80 km/hr to cover that *same stretch of road*. /3

"UPA government had reduced #FuelPrices by issuing Oil Bonds of Rs 1.44 lakh crores. I can't go by the trickery played by them. Due to Oil Bonds, the burden has come to our government, that's why we are unable to reduce prices of petrol and diesel": FM Nirmala Sitharaman

"People are right to be concerned. Unless the Centre and states discuss a way out, there is no solution possible to this": Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on #FuelPriceHike

#LokSabha begins discussion on #Constitution (127th Amendment) Bill.
Protests have subsided for the time being.

Dr. Virender Kumar, Minister of Social Justice speaks on the Bill, claims that states will have the right to notify OBC lists for their states.

#SansadWatch
Adhir Ranjan Chowdhary, INC on #Constitution (127th) Amendment Bill:
- We had warned Govt in 2018 that states rights were being taken away, but Govt didn't listen. Wasted its time and money in Supreme Court petition
- Govt has majority, so doesn't listen

#SansadWatch
Chowdhary continues on Constitution #OBCreservation Bill:
- When states started protesting, people started protesting and with an eye on election, you brought this Bill now
- But we also demand that 50% ceiling be removed, approach SC, let states decide

To give much-needed relief to farmers as well as the common man and trade & industry, I urge the Union government to bring down Petrol & Diesel prices by taking back the recent #FuelPriceHike. The #Congress govt in Punjab should also take back the hike in State VAT on #Fuel. 1/3 Image
The consecutive hike in fuel prices over the last 16 days is causing a lot of stress to the country’s economy which is still reeling from the effect of lockdown due to #COVID19. This has made petrol dearer by Rs 9.21/ liter & diesel by Rs 8.55 /liter. 2/3
The hike in fuel prices is also affecting the supply chain & is even putting a burden on those providing essential supplies during a time of #pandemic. The withdrawal is also justified keeping in view the unprecedented steep fall in international crude oil prices. 3/3

Govt will have lower collection of revenue by 10,500 crores as they cut the duty by 1.50 / liter

Asking OMCs to pay for costs of higher fuel prices is nothing short of bringing back of regulations of managing OMCs.

OMCs are public listed cos and they have other shareholders as well.
