## MINISTER OF STATE (I/C) IN THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS

## (SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

- (a): The details of total domestic production of Petrol and Diesel as a percentage of total requirement  of  the  country  during  the  last  three  years  and  the  current  year,  year-wise  are given at the Annexure- I.
- (b): The  details  of  the  import  of  Petrol  and  Diesel  during  the  last  three  years  and  the current year are given in Annexure-II .
- (c):    Present refining capacity in the country is adequate to meet the domestic demand of Petrol and Diesel.  However, Oil PSUs are implementing various projects for enhancing their refining capacity of existing refineries in next few years.
- (d): Public  Sector  Oil  Marketing  Companies  have  implemented  daily  revision  of  retail selling price of Petrol and Diesel in the entire country effective 16 th June, 2017.

Daily price revisions of Petrol and Diesel make the retail prices more reflective of the current market conditions, minimizing the volatility in the RSP of Petrol and Diesel.  Further, it leads to increased transparency in the system and enables smoother flow of products from refinery/depots to Retail Outlets.
