## MINISTER OF PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS (SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

- (a) & (b) The retail  selling  prices  of  petrol  and  diesel  as  on  24.12.2018  in  various  state capitals/UTs/major cities are given as Annexure.

Prices of petrol and diesel have been made  market-determined by the Government  with  effect  from  26.06.2010  and  19.10.2014  respectively.  Since then,  the  Public  Sector  Oil  Marketing  Companies  (OMCs)  take  appropriate decision on pricing of petrol and diesel in line with international product prices and  other  market  conditions.  The  OMCs  have  not  only  increased  but  also decreased the prices accordingly.

The price of petrol and  diesel  varies  from  state  to  state  due  to  various  factors including state VAT/Sales tax rates, freight cost etc.

Annexure referred to in reply to parts (a) & (b) of Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 3043  asked  by  Shri  Ram  Charan  Bohra  to  be  answered  on  31 st December,  2018 regarding 'Prices of Petroleum Products'.
